When are Lasers Used in Gynecology?

Lasers are a form of light energy that can be used in many types of surgery, including gynecology. Lasers are designed with different types of light, such as argon, and gas such as carbon dioxide. Lasers can be used to vaporize pre-cancercous lesions. They are often used to treat condylomata (warts). In spite of what magazines may say, lasers are not always the best surgical treatment. You should discuss your options with your physician.
