Objective  To compare the clinical effect of traditional excision and laser excision in the operation for mucous gland cyst of lower lip.

  Methods  Totally 50 patients with mucous gland cyst of lower lip were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 25 cases in each group. The patients in the observation group were treated with laser, while the patients in the control group were treated with traditional excision. The operation condition, clinical effect and pain degree were compared between the two groups.

  Results  The number of patients with intraoperative bleeding, operation time and wound healing time in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The degree of pain in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P < 0.05). The incidence rate of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Compared with traditional excision, laser excision has the advantages of simple manipulation and less bleeding in the operation for mucous gland cyst of lower lip, which can improve the total effective rate of treatment.
