Source abstract
OBJECTIVE: To compare a novel microscopic suturing technique with conventional laser therapy for facial nevi ≤2 mm. METHODS: A retrospective study of 60 patients with facial nevi ≤2 mm: 30 underwent novel microscopic suturing (observation) and 30 CO 2 laser ablation (control). Outcomes: treatment time, intraoperative bleeding, 6-month VSS, satisfaction, and recurrence. RESULTS: Observation group showed better scar scores, satisfaction, and lower recurrence; minimal bleeding versus none in control. CONCLUSION: Despite longer operative time, novel suturing is superior for long-term scarring, satisfaction, and recurrence; worthy of clinical use.
