Moreover, the effect of surgeon volume on patients\u2019 prognosis after laser vaporization for CIN is unknown. This single-center retrospective study evaluated the predictive value of surgeon volume and patient characteristics for laser vaporization outcomes in women with pathologically confirmed CIN2. Histologically confirmed CIN2 or higher grade after laser vaporization was defined as persistent or recurrent. Various patient characteristics were compared between women with and those without recurrence to examine the predictive factors for laser vaporization. There were 270 patients with a median age of 36 (18\u201360) years. The median follow-up period was 25 (6\u201375.5) months and the median period between treatment and persistence or recurrence was 17 (1.5\u201369) months. The median annual number of procedures for all seven surgeons was 7.8. There were 38 patients (14.1%) with persistent or recurrent lesions\u201424 had CIN2, 13 had CIN3, and one had adenocarcinoma in situ. Patient age, body mass index, surgeon volume, and history of prior CIN treatment or invasive cervical cancer were not significantly correlated with lesion persistence or recurrence. In conclusion, laser vaporization has comparable success rates and is a feasible treatment for both low- and high-volume surgeons.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/curroncol29050302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]],"date-time":"2022-05-23T22:57:22Z","timestamp":1653346642000},"page":"3770-3779","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Effect of Surgeon Volume on the Outcome of Laser Vaporization: A Single-Center Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Michihide","family":"Maeda","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tsuyoshi","family":"Hisa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5725-9994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shinya","family":"Matsuzaki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Misooja","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine, School of Medicine, Kindai University, Osaka 577-8502, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seiji","family":"Mabuchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5723-8891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shoji","family":"Kamiura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology, Osaka International Cancer Institute, Osaka 541-8567, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e218373","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2021.8373","article-title":"Overuse of Cervical Cancer Screening Tests Among Women With Average Risk in the United States From 2013 to 2014","volume":"4","author":"Wright","year":"2021","journal-title":"JAMA Netw.
