Abstract
This case report demonstrates another role for the laparoscopist durin g hystroscopic division of intrauterine synechiae with the laser, name ly, observation of the transtubal passage of smoke, allowing the hyste roscopist to assess the surgery at that point. The smoke alarm may be useful in assessing tubal patency and may also serve to alert the surg eon to the risk of potentially breaching the uterine musculature.
