This study illustrates the efficacy of our technique with a favourable outcome comparable to published studies. Recurrence occurred within 12 months; therefore, we would recommend this as a minimum follow-up period. In addition, the disappearance of warts at distant sites suggests that the effects of the CO2 laser therapy modulate the immune system, thereby extending it beyond simple excision or ablation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
