Abstract: We describe a computationally efficient approach to resolving equations of the form $C_1{x}^2+C_2=y^n$ in coprime integers, for fixed values of $C_1$, $C_2$ subject to further conditions. We make use of a factorisation argument and the Primitive Divisor Theorem due to Bilu, Hanrot and Voutier.
