Electrocoagulation for XXXX : an old oncologic tool revisited.

@entity1 @entity1489 @entity1491
Two-hundred-sixty-two @entity1491 were treated by electrocoagulation over a six-year period. Eighty-four percent of these lesions were @entity1491 . The overall recurrence rate was 3% in a personal 2--9-year follow-up. Those lesions measuring 2--5 cm had a 4% recurrence rate. All operations were done on an ambulatory basis. One-third of the @entity1 were 70 years of age or older. This method has been found to be effective in the treatment of postradiation recurrences of @entity1489 . Up to now such recurrences have defied attempts at cure. The technique is simple, safe, convenient, economical, and highly effective. It is believed that electrocoagulation and curettage should be considered the ideal therapy for those @entity1489 in all locations in which surgical excision and primary closure cannot be done without plastic surgical intervention.
