A Novel Transcutaneous Suturing Technique With Microsurgical Assistance for Excision of Small Facial Nevi: A Retrospective Comparative Analysis

Key Points

• The research aims to compare a new suturing technique to conventional laser therapy for small facial nevi.
• Retrospective study involving 60 patients with facial nevi ≤2 mm.
• 30 patients received the novel microscopic suturing technique.
• 30 patients underwent CO2 laser ablation as the control group.
• Outcomes measured included treatment time, bleeding, scar scores, satisfaction, and recurrence.
• The observation group had better scar scores compared to the control.
• Higher patient satisfaction was noted in the microsuturing group.
• Lower recurrence rates were observed in the suturing group.
• Minimal bleeding occurred in the observation group, while none was reported in the control.
