Publisher's Synopsis
Focuses entirely on the Eutectic Mixture of Local Anaesthetics (EMLA), showing how EMLA is both safe and effective in skin and mucous membranes for a wide variety of superficial procedures with a much lower risk and financial cost than general anaesthesia. The success of EMLA in the curettage of molluscum contagiosum, in the cauterization of condylomata acuminata, in laser therapy for port-wine stains, and many other dermatosurgical procedures, is discussed.
