title: Laser in cervico-vaginal surgery: a clarification.
abstract: The gynecologic use of the CO2 Laser is neither miracle-way nor useless. It is a reliable surgical instrument which, in our opinion, has often shown more promising advantages of performance and therapeutical results than the conventional physical or chemical methods. Its main draw-backs are: the need for perfect mastery of colposcopy and the purchase price which will limit the availability of this instrument, still for a long time, to a few highly equipped centers.
