Carbon Dioxide Laser ablation therapy was originally offered to 25 women with Vaginal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (VAIN). The disease was primary in 12 and secondary after a previous hysterectomy in 13 cases. Treatment was accomplished under local anesthesia in 22 cases and was well-tolerated by all patients. The age of the patients ranged from 19 to 68 with a mean age of 44 years. All women were followed-up by cytology and colposcopy within a time period of 35 to 82 months (mean 49 months). Eight patients relapsed resulting in a failure rate of 32%. A second Laser CO2 treatment was offered to these patients with a final cure rate of 84% (21/25). The four cases in which the disease reappeared, after the 2nd treatment, were managed by upper colpectomy (3 cases) and follow-up (1 case). Laser CO2 ablation is an acceptable treatment modality for VAIN considering the promising cure rates and the preservation of the anatomic integrity of the vagina. Close colposcopic follow-up of these patients is necessary for early detection of disease relapses.
