[Treatment of recurrent large external genital warts in men].

The article presents the results of treatment of 51 men with recurrent genital HPV infection in the form of genital warts. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the treatment. Group 1 of patients has received the combination treatment--electrocoagulation + pharmacotherapy (panavir intravenously and topically in the form of a gel), Group 2 of patients--only electrocoagulation. According to the results of follow-up within 6 months, disease recurrence rate was significantly higher in Group 2--39.5% versus 9.6% in the Group 1. Postoperative complications were also more frequently recorded in the Group 2. These findings suggest that the combined treatment of reccurent forms of genital warts is preferred than just using destructive methods of treatment.
