Division of uterine adhesions (Asherman's syndrome) with the Nd-YAG laser.

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.
