Abstract

The advent of the use of laparoscopy and lasers in gynaecology has added a further option for the treatment of endometriosis. This study is a retrospective review of the notes of 28 women who had endometriosis treated laparoscopically with an Nd:YAG laser. Results were assessed by subjective reporting of symptoms. Seventy-three percent of patients reported significant or complete resolution of symptoms at three to 26 months follow-up. No major complications were encountered. The results suggest this offers a further treatment option for endometriosis which merits further evaluation.
