“…Uterine anatomy, involving a narrow cervical canal connecting the vagina to a small endometrial cavity protected by thick myometrium, renders this organ an ideal target for safe and simple dissection and coagulation of diseased tissue with laser beams . Correction of congenital malformations and treatment of uterine bleeding, caused by submucosal fibroids or polyps, represent potential indications.…”

Gynecologist and plastic surgeons pioneered the application of lasers in medicine and surgery almost 5 decades ago, initially used to treat cervical and vaginal pathologies. Ever since, energy-based devices have been deployed to treat pelvic pathologies and improve fertility. Recent technological developments triggered an unprecedented wave of publications, assessing the efficacy of fractional laser, and radiofrequency on the vaginal wall in reversing natural aging processes. Studies have shown that a certain degree of thermal energy deposited on the vaginal wall stimulates proliferation of the glycogen-enriched epithelium, neovascularization, and collagen formation in the lamina propria, and improves natural lubrication and control of urination. This review aimed to review such data and to guide future research. A unique assembly of experts from around the globe, compiled and edited this manuscript based on a thorough literature review and personal experience. Lasers Surg. Med. 49:137–159, 2017.
