Description
This text provides a comprensive guide to laser surgery in gynaecology, designed for the clinical gynaecologist. Presents the basics of laser physics and safety and emphasizes a "how to" approach for laser surgery of the lower female genital tract including condyloma and an intraepithelial neoplasia of the cervix, vagina and vulva. Potential complications, post operative care and anticipated results are also discussed. The material on intra-abdominal procedures covers the use of such surgical lasers as CO2, argon and Nd: YAG by laparotomy and laparoscopy. Additionally, a complete glossary of laser terminology and scientific notation is included.
