Abstract

The article considers possibilities and promises for using laser technologies in urogynecology. It analyzes clinical trials using laser in different areas of medicine, poses problems, and shows how to solve them, by developing and introducing into a gynecologist’s practice the highly effective and safe laser technologies affecting the vaginal and vulvar mucosa, which are based on the lasers of global considerable use.
