[Ambulatory hysterofibroscopic treatment of persistent metrorrhagias using the Nd:YAG laser]

Several types of intra-uterine lesions can be destroyed endoscopically by coagulation with laser Nd-YAG. The use of a small diameter malleable fibroscope makes it possible to direct the energy accurately so that it is easy to use throughout the whole procedure. Operative hysteroscopy using laser has been performed in 12 cases of persistent metrorrhagia. Using this technique it has been possible to avoid open surgery such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. The procedure is quick and painless. It can be used on outpatients.
