[Laser therapy in gynecology].
Laser therapy is being implemented with increasing frequency in medicine. Carbon dioxide laser is the system most commonly used in gynaecology and the main indications are disease of the uterine cervix, vagina, vulva or perineum. When used in conjunction with the microscope or laparoscope during reconstructive operations on the adnexa, laser speeds up the surgical procedure and brings out the inherent advantages of this technique, namely, precise separation or destruction of tissue, absence of postoperative oedema, uncomplicated wound healing, minimal mechanical trauma, decreased postoperative pain and good haemostasis. With good maintenance and practice laser systems all work well. The only disadvantage is their high cost.
