Overview

Surgical removal of external genital warts may be an alternative regimen to pharmacologic therapy. Surgical therapies include either tangential scissor excision, tangential shave excision, curettage, laser, or electrosurgery.[1]

Surgery

  • Surgical removal is effective using either tangential scissor excision, tangential shave excision, curettage, laser, or electrocautery, ultrasonic aspiration.[1][2][3][4]
  • Surgical removal of external genital warts may be an alternative regimen to pharmacologic therapy in the following conditions:[1]
  • Urethral meatus warts
  • Vaginal warts
  • Cervical warts (For women who have exophytic cervical warts, a biopsy evaluation to exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions must be performed)
  • Intra-anal warts
  • Surgical removal of external genital warts requires consultation of a specialist.[5]
  • Surgical therapy is most beneficial for patients who have large numbers or areas of genital warts.[5]
  • Can be used during pregnancy and internal warts.
  • Usually, eliminate warts in single clinical visit.[5]
  • Requires specialized training, equipment, and longer office visit.
