[Use of lasers in the treatment of diseases of the cervix uteri and vulva].

The results of laser treatment of 215 outpatients with cervical and vulval pathology are discussed. An unfocused high-energy CO2 laser was used to irradiate large areas of the vulva whereas a focused one--for treating precancer and early cancer of the uterine cervix by evaporation and conization. A low-energy helium-neon laser was used for the treatment of concomitant and precancerous lesions of the organs either alone or in combination with the CO2 laser. Said combination proved the most effective.
