A method for photothermal tissue reconstruction using Er:YAG laser Fotona in modern gynecology
Objective. To analyze Russian and foreign data on the efficiency and safety of noninvasive erbium laser therapy aimed at enhancing pelvic floor muscle tone.Куликов И.А., Спокойный Л.Б., Горбунова Е.А., Аполихина И.А.
Material and methods. Articles on the use of erbium laser in gynecology in the past 7 years were chosen and analyzed in PubMed, the international base for citation of scientific medical publications, were selected and analyzed.
Results. Many studies describing the successful experience with noninvasive laser procedures in gynecology were identified. The absolute majority of authors note not only the high efficiency of the technique, but also its safety, which makes it possible to regard it as a worthy alternative to both the existing surgical procedures and accepted therapies.
Conclusion. This type of therapy represents a promising treatment technology with a high efficiency and an optimal safety profile.
