Impact of colposcopy-guided carbon dioxide laser vaporization therapy on peripheral cervical intraepithelial neoplasia lesions

Laser vaporization is less invasive than conization for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The outcome of laser vaporization for CIN is empirically known to depend on the colposcopic findings, especially localization of the lesion. In this study, we sought to identify factors involved in the outcome of laser vaporization.
