  • Title: Division of uterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome) with the Nd-YAG laser.
    Author: Newton JR, MacKenzie WE, Emens MJ, Jordan JA.
    Journal: Br J Obstet Gynaecol; 1989 Jan; 96(1):102-4. PubMed ID: 2923832.
    Abstract:
    Two women with Asherman's syndrome after postpartum curettage are presented. The diagnosis was confirmed by hysteroscopy. The adhesions were vaporized under hysteroscopic control, using a Nd-YAG laser (neodymium-yttrium-aluminium-garnet laser). The method was precise, caused minimal thermal injury and resulted in immediate return of regular menstrual cycles. The use of the Nd-YAG laser for Asherman's syndrome warrants further study.
