Abstract
Assuming that a surgeon could have a laser available during every laparoscopic procedure, two pertinent questions would need to be addressed. First, how often can, or should, one use the laser laparoscope? Second, what are its advantages over the conventional techniques of operative laparoscopy? These and several other, related questions were answered partially by a study of pregnancy rates after vaporization and adhesiolysis with laser laparoscopy in cases of stage I and II endometriosis.
