 AB    The use of carbon dioxide laser for 38 posthetomies or therapeutic
       circumcisions in the treatment of phimosis, paraphimosis, balanitis of
       Zoon or a genital infection by the human papillomaviurs permits clean
       and hemostatic incisions. The clean and dry wound produced by the carbon
       dioxide beam offers several advantages. It reduces the surgeon's risk of
       contamination by the HIV virus and the subsequent sear is regular and
       without edema. In 57% of primary phimosis cases, the histological
       analysis showed a lichen sclerosus et atrophicus.
