摘要

Three hundred and fifteen cases of cervical erosion from February 1975 to October' 1975 were randomly divided into two groups. One hundred and sixty cases were assigned to Group One for cryosurgery treatment and one hundred and fifty-five cases to Group Two for electro-cauterization. The results of treatment were evaluated by healing rate of lesions as assessed by calibrated measurement of their diameters before and after treatment, and also by symptomatic cure rate with regard to leucorrhea, pelvic pain, postcoital bleeding, dyspareunia, vaginal spotting and back soreness. The healing rate of cryosurgery scored a 90% as compared to a 74.2% with electro-cauterization. This difference was statistically significant by student t test (p＜0.01). The symtomatic cure-rate of leucorrhea was 90.5% after cryosurgery as compared to 70.8% after electro-cauterization. This difference was also statistically significant (p＜0.01). Other symptomatic cure rates between these two groups were not singnificantly different.
