There is no doubt that hospital stay, postoperative pain and convalescence are less when it is possible to treat gynecologic disease via laparoscopy. However, for reaching the final conclusion about the other effects of this kind of surgery, e.g., adhesion formation after operation, pregnancy rate, etc., a series of prospective and randomized studies to compare laparoscopy with conventional surgery (laparotomy) are needed.
