Adhesion reformation after reproductive surgery with and without the carbon dioxide laser.
The degree of adhesion reformation and tubal patency after salpingostomy with the use of CO2 laser and with microdiathermy needle was evaluated by second-look laparoscopy. The results indicate that there is no difference in adhesion reformation and tubal patency after laser surgery and after electrosurgery.
