Abstract:
Eight patients underwent carbon dioxide (CO 2) laser excision of benign cervical tumors during a 5-year period. Six patients had symptoms of abnormal vaginal bleeding, and 2 had asymptomatic cervical masses. All but one procedure was performed as outpatient surgery. Blood loss was minimal in 7 patients and less than 50 ml in the other patient. There were no cases of morbidity, and long-term follow-up showed excellent results. The technique to perform CO 2 laser excision of large benign cervical tumors is described.
