Abstract：Objective To compare the therapeutical efifcacy and safety of photodynamie therapy with aminolevulinie acid (ALA-PDT) and holmium laser in urethral condyloma acuminatum. Methods The 126 cases of male urethra genital warts were randomly divided into the test group and the control group. Test group were treated by ALA-PDT, and control group were treaed by holmium laser. Local adverse reactions, extent of resolution of the lesions, time for resolution of the lesions and relapse rate were evaluated after treatment. Results Healing rate and effective rate in test group was 80.95%(51/63) and 95.24%(60/63) showing statistical difference (P<0.01&P<0.05) compared with those in control group. The relapse rate in test group was 12.70%(8/63), which was signiifcantly lower than that control group 26.98%(17/63). The incidence of urethrorrhagia, urethral stricture or scar was zero in test group, while it was 3(4.8%) and 5(7.9%) patients respectively in control group. Conclusion ALA-PDT therapy has the advantages of a higher therapeutic efifcacy, a lower relapse rate and fewer side effects in the treatment of urethral condyloma acuminatum.
