An animal model for learning Nd:YAG laser ablation of the endometrium.
Gynecologists must have a good model for practice before performing Nd:YAG laser ablation on humans. The New Zealand white rabbit has been used as a teaching model in courses. Knowing the anatomy and technique enables gynecologists to acquire the skill and dexterity needed to perform this useful procedure.
