[The role of laser CO2 in proctology].

There is presented our experience in surgical hemorrhoids and condylomata acuminata treatment using CO2 laser. There were 289 operations on 198 patients in outpatient clinic. There were 4 cases of anal fissure and no postoperative bleeding during postoperative period. This work is demostrating that adaptation of the laser CO2 makes many advantages to the classic operation of Milligan ad Morgan: simplification of the surgical technique easy post-operative course, no hospitalisation and quicker return to work. Complications are rare and excellent results are noted. Laser CO2 treatment is considered one of the alternatives to conventional treatment, but the surgeon needs to be aware of laser hazards.
