Peritoneal and ovarian endometriosis are anatomically highly polymorphous and can give rise to pain and sterility. Endometriosis can be recognized and evaluated by means of laparoscopy and an appropriate therapeutic strategy determined. Sur…

Benign ovarian cysts can be diagnosed and treated by surgical laparoscopy which, like laparotomy, permits a histological examination. Ovarian cysts that are, or are suspected of being malignant must be removed by laparotomy after evaluation…

The authors share their experience in the use of the CO2 laser, over 10 years. Three main indications for the CO2 laser in operative laparoscopy are examined: adhesiolysis, neosalpingostomy and endometriosis. The CO2 laser presents a number…

A 20-year experience has enabled the authors to perform mutilating or conservative coelioscopic surgery for 87.4% of all benign ovarian cysts and 95% of all tubal pregnancies. The help obtained from CO2 laser allows performing salpingoneost…

Adequate management of endometriosis by laparoscopy included 3 steps: a laparoscopic diagnosis with peritoneal fluid sampling for cytologic examination and biopsies of implants and of peritoneum to assure a correct diagnosis, a laparoscopic…
