Variety of skin wounds are difficult to treat. Cutaneous lesions are representing the dilemma due to high morbidity. To treat these lesions low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is currently available. Experimental in vitro and in vivo studies have been under development. LLLT is an effective method to modulate tissue repair. In this case report LLLT was applied to a women presenting with wound healing and the result was excellent.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jssmc.v5i2.20770J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, 2013;5(2):117-121

Tissue that is damaged and poorly oxygenated as a result of swelling, trauma or inflammation has been shown to have a positive response to laser therapy irradiation. At present, cutaneous lesions represent a dilemma of global proportions and instigate great clinical interest because of the high morbidity associated with changes in the normal healing process. Among the clinical aspects involving this issue, we emphasize tissue repair time in an effort to make the process quicker and more harmonious, reduce possible complications in lesion resolution, and allow an adequate choice of therapy. Laser light energy is highly absorbed by skin and subcutaneous tissue and therefore penetration is key to therapeutic results. Among the methods currently available, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stands out. Here we present a case of 78 years old lady with multiple variable non healing ulcers on back. Appropriate antibiotics and regular dressing failed to heal the lesions. So we have decided to apply low level laser therapy. At the end of 8th week the wound looked pretty healthy. No untoward reaction or side effect was reported by the patient. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2014) Vol. 18 (1) : 38-42

BACKGROUND: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and a gel containing an extract of Barbatimão, a native Brazilian tree, have shown promising results in both preclinical and clinical wound healing studies. PURPOSE: To describe the treatment of surgical wound dehiscence with LLLT and Barbatimão gel. CASE STUDY: A 54-year-old woman without comorbidities underwent abdominoplasty at another health facility. Three (3) weeks later she presented to the authors’ clinic after an episode of syncope, abrupt dyspnea, purulent exudate, and necrotic tissue in the surgical incision. She reported that wound redness, warmth, and swelling started 8 days postoperatively. The patient was admitted; on day 3 of that hospital stay, her condition improved and surgical debridement was performed. Follow-up care of wound dehiscence was provided in the outpatient clinic. The treatment involved daily application of Barbatimão gel and weekly application of LLLT. The wound healed after 84 days. CONCLUSION: This case report suggests that LLLT may be a beneficial adjunctive therapy, together with Barbatimão gel, for the treatment of surgical wound dehiscence.
