Abstract
Endoscopic surgery has found wide applications in gynecology and is now emplied in many fields of medicine. The advantages of such surgery are the avoidance of large scars, the rapid recovery time, and less pain. The addition of laser (CO2, argon, and neodym YAG laser) to the operative instrumentarium created great expectations. It has been suggested that the laser, by means of its unique properties, may improve the success rate of gynecologic infertility surgery.
