The case notes of 1080 men with genital warts were analysed retrospectively over a 30-month period. One hundred and forty patients were identified with intrameatal warts and an audit of their treatment is discussed. When electrocautery and cryotherapy were compared the former produced a more rapid resolution of the lesions.
Cystourethroscopy was performed on 16 patients with intrameatal warts. No patient had involvement beyond the distal 3 cm of the urethra.
Data on concurrent sexually transmitted diseases, population characteristics and pattern of referral are presented and compared to previously reported studies.
