The advantages that CO₂ laser surgery brings upon the female lower genital tract are the following:
- Accuracy in the exeresis or elimination of the lesion
- Possibility of access in very restricted areas
- Possibility of surgery on infected tissue given the laser’s sterilizing property
- Low blood loss
- Good aesthetic results
- Ambulatory treatment
- Concealment of low width lymphatic and blood vessels in real time (risk reduction of intraoperative dissemination)
The accuracy that can be obtained by using laser beam on the affected spot can regulate the area in a more precise manner, and can also be destroyed both in length and depth.
