[The CO2 laser is an effective method for treating condylomata acuminata].
Twenty-six patients presenting condylomata acuminata are operated with CO2 laser (two in outpatient conditions), and 22 of them (84.61 per cent) estimate the pain as mild. Recurrence of the disease is registered in one case (3.85 per cent), but most likely it is a matter of minor vegetations, missed during the operation. In extensive condylomatous vegetations, CO2 laser is applied in conjunction with electrocautery in a fashion to obviate the side effects relating to electroresection. In five patients the laser radiation toxic effect on HPV is demonstrated for the first time by the filtered in situ hybridization method. It is worth noting that the therapeutic approach suggested combines radicality and efficiency of treatment, with the patients running an uneventful and painless postoperative course.
