Abstract
In the laser surgery service of the 2nd Deparment of the Obstetric and Gynecologic Clinic of the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, from October 1984 to March 1987, we have treated with CO2 laser surgery (vaporization and conization) 228 patients affected with cervical lesions (HPV ± CIN). The choice of the treatment must be based on two parameters: site and extension of the lesion. The results we have obtained with CO2 laser vaporization (201 cases) are most satisfactory (92%); patients have been followed-up from two to twenty-six months. As far as the CO2 laser conization is concerned (27 cases), patients were followed-up from two to twenty-two months and the percentage of success was 96.1%. The Authors evaluated also the side effects of the CO2 laser surgery.
