Carbon dioxide laser surgery. 1983

C R Stanhope, and G D Phibbs, and G C Stuart, and R Reid

Lower genital tract intraepithelial neoplasia was the predominant indication for CO2 laser surgery in 203 patients treated at Wayne State University. One hundred nineteen patients had cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) III and, in the 99 patients who were adequately followed, the failure rate following the first treatment was 9%. Secondary treatment with laser surgery, cryosurgery or, in one instance, hysterectomy, was effective in treating all persistent CIN. Success in treating vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia with laser surgery was most favorable in patients who had not had prior pelvic irradiation. Small (less than 1.5 cm) vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia III was successfully treated in seven patients. Recalcitrant condyloma acuminata responded well to laser surgery in 31 patients.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007834 Lasers An optical source that emits photons in a coherent beam. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation (LASER) is brought about using devices that transform light of varying frequencies into a single intense, nearly nondivergent beam of monochromatic radiation. Lasers operate in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or X-ray regions of the spectrum.
