[The role of carbon dioxide lasers in the treatment of angiodysplasia (the so-called cavernous angioma)].

The authors present their experience of the use of carbon dioxide laser for the treatment of angiodysplasias (so-called "cavernous" angiomas). The reduction of operative haemorrhage and the simpler postoperative course resulting from the intraoperative and postoperative use of this technique have ensured very satisfactory results in a series of 76 patients. The limitations of the technique are defined. The authors also discuss the complex classification of "cavernous angiomas" and propose a synthetic clinical approach by combining the embryological, histological, evolutive and radiographic features of these lesions.

[A cause of multiple failures in autoplasties: cutaneous pathomimesis].

The authors report a case of cutaneous pathomimesis of the hand with severe self-mutilation, contrasting with the minimal nature of the psychiatric illness. They recall several pathogenic and therapeutic elements for this disease which, although difficult, should be managed by a multidisciplinary approach.

Under heel foot wart.

Using carbon dioxide laser, the authors proved the existence of a new type of wart, localized under the heel. Its considerable extension between the dermis and epidermis, far from the visible excrescence, may explain the absence of positive response to classical treatment in some cases.

Prototype of a multipurpose trilaser unit in a teaching hospital surgical department.

We describe our experience and the problems we encountered organizing an autonomous surgical unit in which the equipment and organization enable three lasers to be used in may different applications in medicine and surgery. The three lasers--CO2, Nd:YAG, and argon--may now be used by all the departments concerned within our teaching hospital. As our unit goes into operation, we have determined that we must now begin an evaluation 1) To assess the clinical value of laser usage via the careful selection of cases for laser treatment, the storage of data for future reference on card and computer records, and the assessment of the vital role of the laser within a range of modern therapeutic aids; 2) to achieve technical improvements, by the optimum use of laser sources and related optical equipment; and 3) to assess the economics of the unit, the profitability of bringing together the three types of laser, and the total cost involved.
