✦ Synopsis

Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to NdYAG laser exhaust (contact and noncontact) as well as to electrocautery exhaust passed through smoke evacuation filters. Exposure periods for each group were equal and increasing in time. Histologic analysis revealed alveolar congestion and emphysematous changes in all modes. Controls exhibited similar change but to a milder degree. It appears that any plume produced by lasers or electrosurgical devices produces pathologic change in rat lungs and that effective smoke evacuation will help control these effects.

Leakage after intestinal resection is a serious complication with a high mortality rate. A recent study claims that cutting the intestine with the COz laser improves the healing of intestinal anastomoses (Ferulano et al: Eur Surg Res 16:127-130, 1984).

The function of elastic elements of the vessel wall is to produce a tension suitable to resist the distension strength made by blood pressure. By producing a modification in the morphologic and structural configuration of such elastic elements, it is possible to obtain changes of the elastic resista
