Such procedures are usually performed under deep general anesthesia with the horse in dorsal recumbency. The objective of this work was to determine the efficacy of an endoscopic approa
A contact Nd:YAG laser with a sapphire tip was used to perform excisions in the eyelids of rabbits in order to compare the healing process and the wound strength to similar excisions made using a stainless steel blade. There was no bleeding from the excision made with the Nd:YAG laser; both groups s
Biochemical studies utilizing keloid fibroblast cultures revealed that Nd:YAG laser selectively suppressed collagen production by these cells. Based on these in vitro observations. eight patients with keloids were treated with Nd:YAG laser in a nondestructive manner. Results, with a 3-year follow-up
## Abstract Twentyβeight partial nephrectomies were performed on nine pigs with a simultaneous, coaxial CO~2~βNd: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 Β± 3.2 min (mean Β± SD) with
## Abstract Forty patients with histologically confirmed malignant dysphagia were randomized to either endoscopic intubation or laser recanalization. Age, sex, tumour histology and site were evenly distributed between the groups. Results were analysed on an βintention to treatβ basis. All patients
