title: [Laser CO2: results of treatment of HPV lesions in male the partner].
abstract: Hundred-fifty-seven male partners of patients affected by Human Papillomavirus (HPV) lesions, underwent CO2 Laser vaporization between January 1989 and January 1990. The age ranged between 18 and 45 (median 28.2). The vaporization was performed with a Coherent System 451 CO2 Laser equipment, at a power of 16 watt in continuous mode, depth of 2 mm and a free margin of 2 mm. First Laser treatment proved successful in 129 patients (82.1%); 17 out of 28 patients with persistent or relapsed pathology underwent a second CO2 Laser vaporization with a total cure percentage equal to 92.9%. Laser-surgery is the method of choice in the treatment of HPV genital lesions.
