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 combined with biopsy.

CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions and HRA

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

High-resolution anoscopy (HRA) allows for the precise identification of lesions, while the 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 using 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 surgery. In fact, extensive clinical evidence demonstrates that exposure to fumes produced during ablation procedures can impact health.

For this reason, the most up-to-date ablation kits are combined with compact and lightweight fume extraction systems to prevent the dangers of surgical fumes 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 fumes produced during the treatment of lesions.
