[Laser therapy of the vulva, perineal area and uterine cervix]

Within a period of two years 205 patients of our colposcopy-laser-outpatient department have been treated with a 40 Watt CO2-laser. 97 patients had dysplastic or condylomatous lesions of the portio, 85 ones condylomas in the vulvar, vaginal or perianal regions. 70 per cent of laser vaporisations had been done ambulatoryly. Complication rate following laser conisation was 12 per cent, following laser vaporisation 0 per cent. The rate of recurrent or persistent dysplasias was 12 per cent, of condylomas 18 per cent on an average observation time of 16 months.
