title: [Methods and effectiveness of surgical treatment of limited hyperkeratoses with CO2 laser].
abstract: A method for surgical treatment of limited hyperkeratoses (LH) with CO2 laser was elaborated. Its essence consists in complete "evaporation" of corns within the boundaries of healthy tissues by means of a CO2 laser. Laser excision of LH was conducted in some patients. The method was applied in the treatment of 502 patients with LH with a favorable clinical effect: the immediate results improved, the reparative processes in the wound developed more rapidly in 96% of cases, the period of inability of the patients reduced to one fourth. No complications occurred. Recurrences were noted in the late-term postoperative periods only in 4% of cases. A good cosmetic result was produced in most patients. The economical effect of the method was 36 thousand roubles.
