CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions

Laser treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplastic lesions involves removing the lesions by ablation with a CO₂ laser.

CO₂ laser ablation is a surgical procedure to remove anal condylomas and other anal intraepithelial lesions using a laser light beam with a dedicated surgical tip and anoscope. The treatment aims to remove neoplastic or suspicious anal lesions and may be associated with biopsy.

CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions and HRA

Thanks to recent technological innovations in coloproctology, the removal of anal lesions by means of CO₂ laser treatment can now be performed during high-resolution anoscopy with a dedicated device: THD^® Laser Station.

High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) allows for the precise identification of lesions, while THD® Laser Station, in combination with a dedicated proctoscope equipped with LED light and integrated fume extraction system, allows lesions to be removed or reduced by means of a CO₂ laser.

CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions with fume evacuation

When removing lesions by ablation, fume extraction is necessary to avoid possible contamination during the surgical treatment. In fact, extensive clinical evidence demonstrates that exposure to smokes produced during ablation procedures can affect health.

For this reason, the most advanced ablation kits are combined with compact and lightweight smoke evacuation systems to prevent the dangers of surgical smoke both in the operating theatre and in the outpatient clinic. In particular, the latest generation of fume evacuation systems, such as THD^® Smoke Evacuator, removes both gases and body fluids.

THD^® Smoke Evacuator is equipped with a lightweight and compact high-efficiency filtration system to extract the smoke produced during the lesions treatment.
