. Fifty‐two consecutive patients with condylomata acuminata were treated with CO 2 ‐laser under general anesthesia. In many of the cases, previous conventional treatment had failed. The effectiveness of the treatment was found to be between 75 and 87%. It caused few complication or complains. Eighty‐three percent of the patients expressed satisfaction with the treatment. Laser treatment of condylomata acuminata is an alternative to conventional treatment in tractable cases and in cases where conventional methods are contra‐indicated.
