  2. Introduction • Laser surgery is one of the new approaches in surgical management of patients • Its use in medical practice in Nigeria is rare hence the reporting of this in a private hospital setting • The device is a PhotoMedexLaserPro Diode Laser

  3. THE DEVICE

  4. PATIENTS • PATIENT 1 • 35YEARS • PARA 2 • 1ST DEGREE VAGINAL PROLAPSE • PATIENT 2 • 39 YEARS • PARA 4 • 2ND DEGREE PROLAPSE + CTSTOCOELE

  5. Objective: To report the use of laser for vaginoplasty

  6. Methods • The indication for its use was for anterior colporrhaphy and posterior colpoperineorrhaphy (vaginal rejuvenation) in two women with prolapse of the anterior and posterior vaginal walls • Incisions were made using laser at appropriate wavelength using the 810 device • Repairs were done traditionally • Appropriate protective eye wears are worn during the procedures

  7. Results • Two women with a mean age of 36 years had cosmetic vaginal repairs. • Average number of children was 3. • Mean duration of surgery was 72 mins • Average blood loss of 300mls • The duration of hospital stay was 2 days and both patients resumed back to work the following week.

  8. Conclusion • The advantages of laser over traditional cold knife or cautery include • better precision by the surgeon • less blood loss with better haemostatsis • less tissue damage hence less scarring with better healing • faster post operative recovery and earlier return to work • The major disadvantage is the cost.
