A Randomized Trial of Surgical Treatments for Vulvar and Vaginal Dysplasia

Overview

1. To compare the recurrence rate between the use of laser vaporization and ultrasonic surgical aspiration in the treatment of vulvar and vaginal dysplasias 2. To compare healing related complications, post-operative pain, and scarring between the two procedures.

First line of treatment for vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (VAIN) is not well defined. Laser vaporization and ultrasonic surgical aspiration are both accepted surgical modalities used in the treatment of vulvar and vaginal dysplasias, however no prospective study has been done to compare the two procedures. The specific aims of this research study include: 1. To compare the recurrence rate between the use of laser vaporization and ultrasonic surgical aspiration in the treatment of vulvar and vaginal dysplasias in a prospective, multi-institutional, randomized clinical trial. 2. To compare healing related complications, post-operative pain, and scarring between the two procedures.
