A Randomized Controlled Trial of Ultrasonic Aspiration versus CO2 Laser Ablation for the Treatment of Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence of vulva dysplasia recurrence within 12 months of treatment with CO2 laser ablation or ultrasonic aspiration. Women referred for treatment following diagnosis of VIN II/III will be randomized to receive CO2 laser ablation (typical treatment for these cases) or ultrasonic aspiration (approved treatment providing a more targeted technique). Secondary objectives will examine incidences of pain, scarring, and sexual and psychosocial distraught following treatment for high-grade dysplasia.
Adult

Available for follow-up of treatment for 12 months Exclusion criteria: ? Women who are pregnant ? Women with VIN I dysplasia (diagnosed by pathology) ?
