CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions

Laser treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplastic (AIN) lesions involves ablating lesions with a CO₂ laser.

CO₂ laser ablation is a surgical procedure to remove anal condylomas and other anal intraepithelial lesions using a CO₂ laser 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 recent innovations in proctology, 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) enables precise lesion identification, while THD^® Laser Station, in combination with a dedicated proctoscope equipped with LED lighting and integrated smoke evacuation system, allows lesions to be ablated or reduced using a CO₂ laser.

CO₂ laser treatment of precancerous anal lesions with fume evacuation

During lesion ablation, smoke evacuation is necessary to reduce potential exposure during the procedure. 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 room and in the outpatient clinic. In particular, the next-generation smoke evacuation systems, such as THD^® Smoke Evacuator, remove both gases and body fluids.

THD^® Smoke Evacuator features a compact, lightweight, high-efficiency filtration system that evacuates smoke produced during lesions treatment.
