Outpatient treatment of intrameatal warts in a genitourinary medicine department.
With the use of a meatourethroscope, 18 patients with intrameatal and distal urethral warts were treated by Nd-Yag laser. Further treatment was carried out with cryotherapy using 140 CryoUnit as required. Sixteen patients were cured of their warts and remained wart-free over a 3-8 month period. Meatourethroscopy proved to be a simple, safe and effective way of treatment of intrameatal and distal urethral warts. It is also an outpatient-based and painless procedure that will complement the treatment of external anogenital warts to achieve complete cure.
