Objective:
To evaluate therapeutic effectiveness of the carbon dioxide laser on genital condyloma in pregnancy.
Patients And Methods:
From 1998 to 2002, 18 pregnant women with genital condyloma were treated with laser vaporization. Treatment was given without regard to the gestational period. All the women were treated at least once. Condyloma localisation, treatment gestational age and complication rate were analysed.
Results:
Patients were treated at a gestational age of 15-38 weeks. During pregnancy follow-up, 2 patients had recurrences that required repeated treatment before delivery. In each case, no condylomas were found during delivery. There were no abortions, no premature birth and no complications (bleeding, infections) in our study.
Conclusion:
Laser vaporisation is a safe and effective treatment for condyloma during pregnancy.
