## Abstract ## Background and Objective Advantages of laserβwelded microarterial anastomoses have been reported. However, whether laser repair of large veins is advantageous is not yet known. Argonβlaser welding of inferior vena cava was therefore compared with conventionalβsutured repair. ## Stu

## Background and Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether welding of tendinous tissue is possible with the application of thermal lasers. Study Design Materials and Methods: After sharp transection of a unilateral achilles tendon, 40 male outbred Spraque Dawley rats were divi
Median nerve regeneration was studied in 30 adult primates after repair by microsurgical suture or tubulization with a nonwoven, bioabsorbable, polyglycolic acid device. The two methods were compared electrophysiologically and histologically 6 and 12 months after repair. The electrophysiology includ
Laser welding offers several potential advantages over suture closure, including improved healing, lack of a nidus for stone formation, and greater speed and ease. We examined in vitro gallbladder cystic duct welds created by two different systems, the thulmium-holmium-chromium (THC):YAG (2,150 nm)
