[Experience with the use of the CO2 laser in reconstructive and plastic gynecologic surgery in patients with uterine myoma and endometriosis].

CO2 laser has been used during reconstructive plastic surgery for uterine myoma, endometriosis of various locations, and associated gynecologic conditions in 71 patients. Comparison in patients with uterine myoma who underwent conservative myomectomy with and without the use of CO2 laser showed that treatment with CO2 laser diminished blood loss and duration of the operation, and improved postoperative progress.
