Treatment of condylomata acuminata with carbon dioxide laser

Ten patients with condyloma acuminatum were treated successfully with carbon dioxide laser photocoagulation. There are no side effects, damage to the surrounding tissue is minimal, and, in our experience, the lesions have not recurred. It is particularly useful for lesions which are recalcitrant to other types of therapy. We now initially treat patients who have lesions in the urethral meatus with the carbon dioxide laser.
