Abstract:
Eighteen women with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) III were treated with laser vaporization. The majority had multifocal disease. After a single laser vaporization, 15 of the 18 remained free of recurrent disease, with a mean follow-up of 129.5 weeks (range, 24-253). There were no intraoperative complications. Two patients had delayed healing and persistent vulvar soreness for 4 and 10 months. Laser vaporization appears to be reasonably well tolerated and effective for VIN III, especially multifocal.
