Pelvic adhesions observed in gynecologic patients are a major contributing factor to infertility, pelvic pain, and/or intestinal obstruction. Such adhesions may be the sequelae to inflammatory processes, endometriosis, and prior surgical in…

The major advantage of the argon laser in laparoscopic reproductive pelvic surgery is the ability to transmit the laser beam along a flexible fiber that can easily be directed at a lesion. Its use has been specifically described for the tre…

It has been suggested that the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, by virtue of its hypothetical capabilities for precise incisions, minimization of tissue handling and bleeding, and shortened operating time, may improve the success rate of gynecol…
