ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of carbon dioxide laser vaporization in the treatment of coalescent condyloma acuminata of the female lower genital tract. Between July 1990 and September 1992, 24 cases were enrolled in the study. There were 13 pregnant patients and 11 nonpregnant patients. We performed the procedure under colposcopic guidance on an out-patient basis. Carbon dioxide laser vaporization was carried out in continuity to an appropriate tissue depth with carbon dioxide brushing 1 cm around the lesion. Of these 24 cases, biopsy proven 2 residual lesions and 1 recurrence were documented at the 2nd week and the 2nd month postoperative, respectively. We found low rate of intraoperative and postoperative morbidity or complication, with mild to moderate vulvar pain in the patients and no gross scarring. It is concluded that carbon dioxide laser is effective for eradicating extensive condylomata in the female lower genital tract with low intraoperative and postoperative morbidity on an out-patient basis.
