    Can anyone help? I'm currently trying to gather any evidence or survey/audit results that anyone may have. I have been involved in providing electrosurgery as a treatment for all types of heloma and verrucae for the last 12 years (NHS). I know that it is a valuable and successful treatment but don't have "the hard facts/proof" to back it up.
    I'd really appreciate ANY information that may be helpful as the service that I have been providing may be stopped all together.
    Thanks for any support that you can offer.

    It reckoned Karen:
    I have had large successes in the processing of warts with electro scalpel, but since years ago and even the present time to stopped using it.
    I believe that there are other more comfortable processing and likewise insurances for the patients and they avoid the presence of scars.
    A cordial greeting:

    Thank you very much for replying.
    I haven't had any scarring resulting from the type of electrosurgery used here. Generally the patients have found it a fairly comfortable experience during healing.
