Literature summary
The surgical treatment of condyloma by excision or local destruction (excision/destruction with scissors, diathermy, laser, or cryotherapy; scalpel excision) seems to deliver the best results with healing rates of up to 94% and a recurrence rate of 29% after three months. Diathermy tends to result in better data than cryotherapy. It should be noted that these are epidermal tumors. The destruction of deep skin layers does not offer any benefit in terms of radicality and prevention of recurrence. However, it risks functionally adverse scarring.
