Abstract

Partial vaginectomy is seldom used diagnostically to evaluate vaginal neoplasia because of its technical difficulty, the possible need for grafting, and postoperative vaginal agglutination or stenosis. We found that use of the carbon dioxide laser simplified vaginectomy in ten subjects, producing a low rate of complications, an excellent diagnostic specimen, and superior healing.
