Kissing or a divided nevus is a rare form of congenital melanocytic nevi of the eyelid. Although a periocular nevus rarely becomes malignant, it may cause functional problems because of its size and also cosmetic concern, thus prompting excision.
These are conventionally managed by epidermal stripping or staged surgical excision and reconstruction with a skin graft or a myocutaneous flap, but the resultant suboptimal cosmetic appearance continues to be an unsolved issue.
We introduce a new simple surgical approach with high-frequency radio-wave electrosurgery using a fine-needle electrode to excise and completely vaporize an eyelid kissing nevus without requirement for a reconstruction procedure. This technique provides a preferable alternative to help reduce postoperative discomfort, accelerate recovery. minimize scar, and preserve eyelashes, and provide a gratifying cosmetic outcome
