[Use of CO2 laser in the treatment of condylomata acuminata of the vulva in women].

CO2 laser was used in the treatment of 35 women with vulvar condylomata acuminata. The mean age of the patients was 31.6 years. Isolated lesions were removed as well as extensive conglomerates involving the whole vulva and clitoris and anal region. Small condylomata were evaporated. Large ones were cut off at the base and additionally evaporated. After one laser application cure was obtained in 87.5% of cases, while after repeated procedure 93.8% of the patients were cured. The tolerance of laser procedures was good in all cases. Healing was rapid, no scars and hyperpigmentation were noted. The possibility of application of laser in pregnant women is another advantage of this method.
