Cryosurgery of eyelid basal cell carcinomas.
One hundred and twenty-one patients have been treated for eye lid basal cell carcinomas with cryosurgery during the last 7 years. The condition resolved completely after treatment in all patients with no recurrences observed so far. Most patients have been followed for more than 2 years. Complications were few and minor. In 14 cases conjunctival overgrowth was noted. We conclude that this treatment modality is excellent, cost-effective and easily tolerated as compared with other methods.
