Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report case of hypergranulation tissue that occurred after laparotomy and dissected by CO₂ laser. Methods : A 72-year-old female had hypergranulation tissue on the epigastrium. Local anesthesia was achieved with bufonis venenum pharmacopuncture. The CO₂ laser was used for dissection. After removal of granulation, irrigation with soyeom pharmacopuncture solution and simple interrupted suture were performed. Yeonkyopaedok-san were administered for 7 days and the suture was removed after 14 days. At last, saengkigo was applied. Results : Hypergranulation tissue sized 1.0×1.0×1.0cm was clearly removed. Including excessive growing of granulation tissue, adverse effects were not reported until the clear skin adhesion. Conclusions : Hypergranulation tissue was surgically removed and sutured completely without any complications by using pharmacopuncture, oral herbal medicine and ointment that have anti-inflammatory effects and wound healing. Through this study, it is hoped that surgery including suture will be actively performed in more diverse diseases in the Korean medicine community.
