A synopsis of the use of lasers in gynecology is presented
in this book; it is supported by more than 10 years of
experience and backed up by studies inthe fields of
experimental surgery, technical medicine and clinical
gynecology. The authors show how laser-assisted preparation
hasbroadened the spectrum of operative possibilities in
gynecology. Major points of attention are experimental
surgery and basic research, details of application with
respect to specific indications, and future potential.
Furthermore, the clear definition of the possibilities and
limitations of laser technology puts an end to the highly
stylized view of a patent wonder divorced from general
operative standards.
Thereis no doubt that users of laser technology stand on
the threshold of a promising development and yet, despite
the present elegant applications, thefirst steps to
maturity are only now being taken.
