In gynecological laser surgery, lasers are successfully used with applications in colposcopy, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, obtaining many advantages against more traditional techniques or complex, open surgery.
These techniques reduce surgical invasiveness and duration, morbidity, damage to surrounding tissue and ensure more rapid healing of patients with a lower incidence of complications.
Your healthcare provider may recommend laser surgery for the treatment of various gynecological conditions. These conditions include:
- Endometriosis
- Adhesions
- Myomas/ Fibroids
- Cysts
- Hysterectomy
- Conization of the cervix
- Condyloma
- Leukoplakia (vulvar dystrophies)
- Herpes vaporization
- Urethral caruncle vaporization
- Cervical dysplasia
- Benign and malignant tumors
- Hemangiomas
- Benign and malignant lesions of external genitalia
In some cases, outpatient procedures with local anesthesia may provide significant cost savings compared to the corresponding procedures in the operating room. Speak with your healthcare provider to find out the best course of treatment for you.
