[Comparative study of the treatment of cervical dysplasias with the CO2 laser and electroresection with the diathermy loop].
The authors compared CO2 laser and the diathermy loop in the ambulatory treatment of 192 cases of cervical dysplasia. Clinical results were essentially equivalent (94.7% and 94.2% success rate respectively for laser and diathermy loop). When comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each technique, even though electroresection using the diathermy loop is a reliable method available to everyone, the ease in handling, exact precision, and comfort of laser render it the preferred method of treatment for cervicovaginal pathology in spite of its greater expense.
