Abstract
The use of carbon dioxide laser for 38 posthetomies or therapeutic circumcisions in the treatment of phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis of Zoon or a genital infection by the human papillomaviurs permits clean and hemostatic incisions. The clean and dry wound produced by the carbon dioxide beam offers several advantages. It reduces the surgeon's risk of contamination by the HIV virus and the subsequent sear is regular and without edema. In 57% of primary phimosis cases, the histological analysis showed a lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
