[Some aspects of work at the city laser surgery center of Ashgabad].
During 7-year work 2,500 operations with a laser were performed for 52 diseases at the center. The authors studied the medico-economical data on the use of the laser techniques in the treatment of persisting wounds and trophic ulcers, cutaneous leishmaniasis, chronic anal fissure, purulent diseases of the soft tissues, epithelial coccygeal passage, ingrowing nail, and localized hyperkeratosis. A comparison group consisted of patients who received traditional treatment. With the use of the laser methods the clinical results of treatment were appreciably improved--the number of poor results reduced, the duration of treatment was shorter, treatment in some cases could be changed from in-patient to out-patient, and a good cosmetic results with a marked economical effect was produced.
