From the Guidelines

Dermatofibrooman poistoa ei suositella tehtäväksi itse käyttäen nestemäisiä tikkejä, vaan sen sijaan suositellaan lääkärin suorittamaa poistoa. Tämä johtuu siitä, että dermatofibrooma on kasvain, joka vaatii tarkkaa poistoa ja seurantaa, jotta voidaan varmistaa, että kasvain poistetaan täysin ja estetään uusiutuminen. Lääkärin suorittama poisto mahdollistaa myös tarkan histopatologisen tutkimuksen, joka on tärkeää kasvaimen luokittelussa ja hoitosuunnitelman laatimisessa 1. Itse suoritetun poiston riskinä on myös infektio, arpikudoksen muodostuminen ja kasvaimen uusiutuminen, mikä voi vaikuttaa potilaan terveyteen ja elämänlaatuun 1. Lisäksi, lääkärin suorittama poisto mahdollistaa myös parhaan kosmeettisen tuloksen saavuttamisen, mikä on tärkeää potilaan henkiselle hyvinvoinnille 1. Toimenpiteen jälkeen potilaan tulee pitää haava-alue puhtaana ja kuivana ensimmäiset 24-48 tuntia, ja kevyt suihkuttelu on yleensä sallittua tämän jälkeen, mutta haavaa ei saa liottaa vedessä ennen kuin se on täysin parantunut 1. Dermatofibrooman poistoa koskevat ohjeet ja suositukset ovat keskeisiä potilaan hoidon ja terveyden kannalta, ja niiden noudattaminen on tärkeää lääkäreiden ja potilaiden yhteistyössä 1.

From the Research

Dermatofibroma Removal with Liquid Stitches

  • There are no research papers to assist in answering this question, as the provided studies focus on sclerotherapy for varicose veins and vascular malformations, not dermatofibroma removal.
  • The studies discuss the use of sclerosants such as sodium tetradecyl sulfate and polidocanol for treating venous malformations and varicose veins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
  • None of the studies mention the use of liquid stitches for dermatofibroma removal, and it is unclear if this method would be effective or safe for this purpose.
  • Sclerotherapy is a procedure that requires proper training and expertise, and it is typically performed by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting 5, 6.
  • The use of liquid stitches for dermatofibroma removal is not a recommended or established treatment method, and more research would be needed to determine its safety and efficacy.
