With carbon dioxide laser were treated 30 patients with more than 5 warts or with a single wart larger than 2dm in diameter, which were on the skin more than six months. Eighty-one percent of the patients required only one laser treatment to complete the eradication of warts. Retreatments during the early postoperative months were necessary in 6 patients. The carbon dioxide laser vaporization is an excellentmethod for trating problematic or recurrent warts. The author concludes that carbon dioxide laser treatment is now an important method in the treatment of recurrent, gigantic or widespread wartsTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZdruženje slovenskih dermatovenerologov
