title: Cryotherapy in the treatment of condylomata acuminata: a controlled study of 64 patients.
abstract: A clinical controlled study is presented for the treatment of condylomata acuminata with cryotherapy in 64 patients. Condylomata resolved in 83% within 4 weeks and 96% after 6 weeks by using cryotherapy. The results were significantly better compared with the control group of 70 patients (13% and 45% after 4 weeks and 6 weeks, respectively). Other therapeutic modalities are reviewed. Cryotherapy is an elegant and effective method for the treatment of condylomata acuminata without discomfort to the patient.
