Cryotherapy for treatment of genital condylomata during pregnancy.

Cryotherapy for treatment of genital condylomata acuminata was safely and successfully employed on 34 pregnant women in the second (4 cases) and third (30 cases) trimesters of pregnancy. No fetal, maternal or neonatal complications occurred during or following cryosurgery. No recurrences were observed before or six weeks following delivery. Cryotherapy eliminated the need for elective cesarean section in many patients with genital condylomata. Cryotherapy can be safely employed on pregnant women on an outpatient basis irrespective of the gestational period.

Condylomata Acuminata↗

Advanced hidradenitis suppurativa of the vulva. A report of three cases.

Advanced suppurative hidradenitis resulting from chronic, progressive, inflammatory involvement of apocrine sweat glands often fails to respond to conservative treatment. Extensive surgical excision of all the infected areas with aggressive postoperative wound care in two of three patients provided relief from this debilitating disease. Skin grafting promoted wound healing in addition to improving cosmetic results. Advanced chronic hidradenitis suppurativa of the vulva should be treated with surgery, and conservative management is justifiable only if preparatory to surgical excision.
