title: Treatment of condylomata acuminata with the carbon dioxide laser.
abstract: Extensive and/or recurrent condylomata acuminata in 78 women were treated with the CO2 laser. Urethra, clitoris or the anal canal were involved in about one-fourth of the cases. Most were treated as outpatients with the more extensive lesions staged for multiple treatments. After a follow-up period of 6-33 months, 91% of women were free from disease and treatment failures occurred in 9%, some of which may have been new infections. No serological investigations were performed.
