Неотложная лазерная фотодеструкция доброкачественных, осложненных кровотечением, сосудистых образований кожного покрова у детей

BACKGROUND Benign vascular lesions of the skin, hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas are quite common in pediatric patients, which are complicated with bleeding in 7.5% of cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 2016–2018, 17 children with cavernous hemangiomas and pyogenic granulomas complicated with bleeding were operated on an emergency basis at the Research Institute of Emergency Children’s Surgery and Traumatology. Surgical intervention for all patients was performed using the method of interstitial selective laser photodestruction developed by the RIECST, which took out the utility patent. This method was implemented using two wave laser surgical device IPG “IRE-Polus” (Russia), generating two wavelengths of laser radiation of 0.97 μm and 1.56 μm. RESULTS The analysis of the long-term results of treatment in 17 pediatric patients who were operated on an emergency basis for hemangioma and pyogenic granuloma complicated by bleeding showed that all 17 patients (100%) had a good clinical and aesthetic result. The method of interstitial selective laser photodestruction provided a radical removal with guaranteed hemostasis of the indicated benign vascular lesions of the skin complicated with bleeding illustrate the effectiveness of this method in clinical practice, as well as the possibility of its use in inpatient and outpatient conditions. CONCLUSION To prevent the large blood loss in hemangiomas complicated by bleeding and pyogenic granulomas of the skin in children, emergency surgical treatment has been performed using interstitial selective laser photodestruction. This method ensures the radical photodestruction of tissues of a pathological vascular formation and reliable hemostasis, which guarantees the achievement of a good clinical and aesthetic result of treatment in inpatient and outpatient conditions in all cases.
