PO-Cryosurgery for Optometric Surgeons: A safe, non-invasive, non-aerosolizing approach to periocular lesion removal in the COVID-19 era.
Description:
Cryosurgery is a safe, proven technique for removing/destroying cutaneous lesions, including those on the eyelids and periorbital skin. With proper training, clinical understanding and attention to detail, Cryo offers the advantage of lesion removal/destruction in a non-invasive way (no cutting with scalpels, scissors, or radiosurgery), no anesthetic injection, excellent cosmetic outcomes, and no aerosolization/contamination of the environment with human tissue particulates that may harbor viral contaminant, a significant hazard with thermal cautery, lasers, or electrosurgical/radiosurgical technologies. This course will highlight the advantages and efficiencies of cryosurgery in optometric practice.
