Abstract
The effectiveness of the CO2 laser was evaluated in the treatment of penile, anorectal and urethral condylomata acuminata in 40 men. All but 6 cases of urethral condylomata were prior conventional treatment failures. Postlaser follow-up ranged from 1-2 yr, with an average of 16 mo. No patients were lost to follow-up. Postlaser recurrence rates were 7.5%. No postoperative complications occurred in this series. CO2 laser is highly successful for treating persistent and/or extensive urogenital and anal condylomata in the male patient.
