  • Title: Management of nucleated plantar keratomas with a carbon dioxide laser.
    Author: Mosher MR.
    Journal: Clin Podiatr Med Surg; 1992 Jul; 9(3):699-707. PubMed ID: 1393989.
    Abstract:
    Laser enucleation of superficial epidermal keratoses and ablation of dermal and subdermal lesions is an effective method for long-term relief from painful plantar lesions. This technique also provides gross visualization of the remaining tissues, a specimen for microscopic evaluation, and a definitive diagnosis. The procedure is relatively atraumatic with a minimal amount of postoperative pain, disability and scarring, and a high percentage of acceptable results.
