title: Adhesion reformation after reproductive surgery with and without the carbon dioxide laser.
abstract: 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.
