title: Results of CO2 laser cylinder vaporization of cervical intraepithelial disease in 1234 patients. An analysis of failures.
abstract: This report analyses 1234 patients with CIN and non-condylomatous wart virus infection (NCWVI) managed by CO2 laser ablation in the Regional Department of Gynaecological Oncology, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead from 1979 to 1983. Thirty-five patients (3%) were lost to follow-up. Of the 1157 patients currently under review and with at least 1 year of follow-up, 44 (3.8%) were laser treatment failures.
