✦ Synopsis

Abstract

A laser bipolar dissector (LBD) using a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser energy source that provides hemostatic dissection using lowpowered laser energy (15–25 W) has been developed. Clinical applications have included a partial hepatectomy (n = 5), a cholecystectomy (n = 4), an appendectomy, lymphnode dissection, and division of adhesions. The LBD was effective in resection of noncirrhotic liver and reduced the number of ligations required. There were no direct complications related to using the LBD. Operative time and blood loss were difficult to compare to conventional methods. The LBD may have applications for partial hepatectomies and other intra‐abdominal operations. © 1992 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Previous investigations have shown good clinical potential for the use of the 1.32 pm wavelength Nd:YAG laser because its soft tissue absorption is better than that of the 1.06 pm wavelength NdYAG laser. The 1.32 pm wavelength NdYAG laser has an absorption coefficient in water that is 10 times highe
