A synopsis of the use of lasers in gynecology is presentedin this book; it is supported by more than 10 years ofexperience and backed up by studies inthe fields ofexperimental surgery, technical medicine and clinicalgynecology. The authors show how laser-assisted preparationhasbroadened the spectrum of operative possibilities ingynecology. Major points of attention are experimentalsurgery and basic research, details of application withrespect to specific indications, and future potential.Furthermore, the clear definition of the possibilities andlimitations of laser technology puts an end to the highlystylized view of a patent wonder divorced from generaloperative standards.Thereis no doubt that users of laser technology stand onthe threshold of a promising development and yet, despitethe present elegant applications, thefirst steps tomaturity are only now being taken.
