Abstract
Although it is true that the clinical results of surgery performed with lasers through the laparoscope are no better than those achieved with laparotomy, the laser has had a significant impact on the treatment of pelvic abnormalities in infertile women. The most notable contribution of lasers has been to extend the ability of the reproductive surgeon to perform laparoscopic surgery. As a result, many patients have been spared the added expense, pain, and hospitalization associated with a laparotomy. The argon and KTP lasers provide an option for the operative laparoscopist who is looking for a user-friendly system. The simplicity of these systems is especially appealing to the beginning or occasional laser laparoscopist. Even the experienced and expert operative laparoscopist, however, will find these lasers to be an important addition to their surgical armamentarium.
