title: [Treatment of condylomata acuminata with the neodymium laser].
abstract: The effectiveness of neodymium laser therapy was presented in the treatment of urogenital condyloma acuminata in 55 patients (51 men and 4 women). The patients were followed up 14 days, 4 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the laser treatment. The main localization of condyloma acuminata was foreskin and glans penis. The cure rate after the 1st session of treatment was 76%, 8.5% of patients required 3 sessions of the laser therapy. After 6 months 7 patients discontinued the follow-up, 89.6% (43 patients) were cured, 2 had the scars of foreskin and 3 suffered from recurrences. Neodymium laser treatment of urogenital condyloma is a safe treatment and no major side effects were encountered.
