The utilization of CO2 laser laparoscopy has become an increasingly accepted procedure because of its ability to obviate the need for major surgery. The accuracy of the laser beam through its delivery system, in addition to minimal tissue damage without injury to adjacent structures, makes it ideal for treating minimal and moderate endometriosis. Its use in individuals with endometriosis may render unnecessary other medical treatments, since therapy can be performed at the same time that the disease is found. This therapy appears to be as successful as medical treatment, or more so, since 76% of patients with minimal disease as the only explainable fertility problem became pregnant after treatment. The advantages of this tool for treatment of endometriosis include high success rate, immediate treatment with a very small increase of operating room time, and the ability to treat certain conditions accompanying endometriosis which cannot be accomplished with medicine alone (e.g., adhesions).
由于二氧化碳激光腹腔镜手术能够避免进行大型手术，其应用已越来越被广泛接受。激光束通过其传输系统的精准度，加上对组织损伤极小且不会损伤相邻结构，使其成为治疗轻度和中度子宫内膜异位症的理想选择。对于患有子宫内膜异位症的个体，使用该手术可能会使其他医疗治疗变得不必要，因为可以在发现疾病的同时进行治疗。这种治疗似乎与药物治疗一样成功，甚至更成功，因为76%患有轻度疾病且这是唯一可解释的生育问题的患者在治疗后怀孕了。这种治疗子宫内膜异位症工具的优点包括成功率高、能立即进行治疗且手术室时间增加极少，以及能够治疗某些仅靠药物无法解决的伴随子宫内膜异位症的病症（例如粘连）。
