Zonulolysis

Zonulolysis (from the Latin zōnum “cavity”, lysis “dissolution, decomposition”) is a surgical operation to remove intraocular tumors, such as chalazion, cyst, ciliary cyst, leukoma, as well as other eyelid tumors.

Zonulolysis is one of the treatment methods for eyelid tumors and is used if other treatment methods do not give the desired result. The operation is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 15 minutes. After surgery, the patient can return to normal life within a few days, however, full recovery may take several weeks.

One of the advantages of zonulolysis is that it allows you to remove the tumor without damaging healthy eye tissue. In addition, this treatment method is minimally invasive and safe for the patient.

However, zonulolysis also has some disadvantages. Firstly, it can lead to the development of complications such as infection, bleeding, swelling and others. Secondly, zonulolysis may be ineffective in some cases, for example, with large tumor sizes.

In general, zonulolysis is an effective treatment for eyelid tumors, but its effectiveness depends on many factors, such as the size and location of the tumor, the patient's health, and the experience of the surgeon. Therefore, before performing zonulolysis, it is necessary to consult a specialist and undergo the necessary examination.

Zonulolysis (zonulolysis intervention, ZONILIM-V) is the surgical removal of an area of ​​sclerotic neoplasms of the skin and subcutaneous tissue using a wide-band (softening) scalpel and cauterization using the Fotek apparatus. It is used in the treatment of limited types of elastofibroma and senile acne, usually found on the face and neck, less commonly on the trunk, limbs, and scalp. A more in-depth definition sounds like a cosmetic method used to reduce the size of multiple benign dermatofibromas. Modern alternative therapy is aimed at reducing the area of ​​adipose tissue deposition in specific places where erythrema or dermofibrotic process develops.

During the procedure, under general anesthesia or topical anesthesia, the zone of formation of connective tissue deposits through its base is ruptured using one of the methods: ultrasonic zonolization or erbium laser destructor.

Sclerosis occurs through exposure to an ultrasound wave with a frequency of over 32 kHz on pathologically altered tissue. The lack of anesthesia limits the expansion of sclerosing methods. A solution of caustic soda (1:6) is often used, it is better
