Abstract
Seven hundred fourteen patients underwent CO2 laser laparoscopy for endometriosis (mild = 343, moderate = 211, severe = 160). Following laser treatment the term pregnancy rate was 52% within 18 months. The operating time ranged from 30 to 60 minutes, and all patients were discharged the following day. No complications, e.g., bladder, ureteral, bowel injury, were observed. (J GYNECOL SURG 5:361, 1989
