✦ Synopsis

During the past 6 years, we have managed 633 cervical intraepithelial neoplasias with the C q laser. If the lesion is located on the ectocervix, the C02 laser is used to vaporize it under the microscope. If the lesion is located in the endocervical canal, the C02 laser is used to excise a cylinder-shaped tissue with a handpiece.

Colposcopic examination is performed 2 1 days after treatment. Persistent disease is recognized at this examination; healing is obtained spontaneously in 66% of those with persistent disease without second treatment.

There were eight with recurrent disease with abnormal Pap tests and abnormal colposcopic findings, and 12 with recurrent disease with abnormal Pap tests and normal colposcopic findings (recurrent koilocytis cells).

After laser treatment cervical function was good and pregnancies were normal.

Forty-four patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I1 and 31 patients with CIN III were followed up for up to 6 months after cervical cone vaporization with carbon dioxide laser. In addition to colposcopy and pap smear, all patients underwent cervical biopsies as part of their follow-
