|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of lipoma removed by surgical method.
Methods : A 69-year-old female was diagnosed with lipoma on the left upper shoulder. Bufonis venenum pharmacopuncture was used for local anesthesia. The 11th blade and the CO2 laser was used for incision. After removal of lipoma, irrigation with soyeom pharmacopuncture solution and simple interrupted suture were carried out. For 7 days, Yeonkyopaedok-san was given and the suture was removed after 14 days. At last, saengkigo was applied.
Results : Local anesthesia was maintained. Lipoma sized 3.0×1.0×1.0㎝ was clearly removed. Adverse effects were not reported until the clear skin adhesion.
Conclusions : Lipoma were surgically removed without any complications by using pharmacopuncture and oral herbal medicines that have anti-inflammatory effects. Korean medicine has the potential for surgery and needs to extend the range of surgical treatment.
