Topical steroids remain the first-line therapy to treat lichen sclerosus (LS), but circumcision may be curative in most cases. Positive results have been obtained by using a fractional micro-ablative CO2 laser to treat genital LS. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of the fractional micro-ablative CO2 laser in the treatment of penile LS. Five treatments with the fractional CO2 laser were performed on one 69-year-old man affected by penile LS. A significant improvement in symptomatology was noted after the first treatment session. Complete clinical remission was achieved 14 weeks after the last treatment. The fractional micro-ablative CO2 laser may represent a practical therapeutic approach in penile LS.
外用类固醇仍然是治疗硬化性苔藓(LS)的一线疗法,但在大多数情况下包皮环切术可能治愈该病。使用分次微剥脱二氧化碳激光治疗生殖器LS已取得了积极的效果。本研究旨在评估分次微剥脱二氧化碳激光治疗阴茎LS的安全性和有效性。对一名患有阴茎LS的69岁男性进行了5次二氧化碳激光分次治疗。在第一次治疗后症状有明显改善。最后一次治疗14周后实现了完全临床缓解。分次微剥脱二氧化碳激光可能是治疗阴茎LS的一种实用治疗方法。
