[Technics of the use of CO2 laser in microsurgery of sterility. Experimental study. Clinical results]

The authors describe their experience in the use of CO2 laser in microsurgical treatment of tubal sterility. An experimental study was carried out on Fallopian tubes in order to define the parameters for the use of CO2 laser in tubal surgery. Certain microsurgical techniques were altered when CO2 laser was used. The procedures were improved by the ease of surgery and the speed with which it could be carried out. Our clinical experience was on 153 patients who were operated on. In 66 laparotomies the combined use of microscope and CO2 laser seemed to improve the handling of tubal sterility.
