Laser miniconization - a new method of treating mild and moderate cervix dysplasia

The miniconization by carbon dioxid laser is a non-destructive method for treatment of mild and moderate dysplasia of the uterine cervix permitting an adequate histopathological interpretation of the whole transformation zone. The risk of postoperative haemorrhage is minimal which enables ambulant care. 413 patients have hitherto been treated and we have found carcinoma in situ in 16.7%, micro-invasive carcinoma in 1.2% and invasive carcinoma in 0.25%.
