Background and Objectives: To examine whether carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) laser treatment has a carcinogenic potential or may influence ultraviolet (UV)-induced carcinogenesis. Study Design/Materials and Methods: Hairless mice (n ¼ 211) were treated with a Sharplan CO 2 laser with FeatherTouch scanner. S

✦ Synopsis
Hemisplenectomy was performed with the scalpel in 12 mongrel dogs. The blood vessels of the splenic pedicle were temporarily clamped. In a six-dog group, hemostatis was obtained by COz laser and residual bleeding was controlled by sutures. In the other six dogs, group hemostasis was performed only by sutures. The surgical procedure was free of mortality. No hematological changes were observed in both groups. Histological studies revealed a better hemostatic effect and intensive necrosis of the splenic parenchyma in the lasered group compared with the sutured group.

## Abstract A freehand carbon dioxide laser is now available for surgical procedures. A comparison of its utility with the electrocautery was carried out in five dogs by the performance of hemisplenectomy. All dogs survived without complications. The laser proved to be an effective instrument for p

## Abstract Twenty‐eight partial nephrectomies were performed on nine pigs with a simultaneous, coaxial CO~2~‐Nd:YAG laser at power settings of 20 W and 40 W, or with a steel scalpel. A vascular pedicle clamp was used without renal cooling. The time for hemostasis was 4.5 ± 3.2 min (mean ± SD) with
