Abstract
CO2 laser vaporization technique for peritoneal and superficial ovarian endometriotic implants is described in detail, covering power density settings, spot size, vaporization depth control, and recognition of adequate treatment endpoints. Complete destruction of all visible implants, facilitated by the near-contact survey, is necessary to achieve durable symptom relief and improvement in fertility outcomes.
