✦ Synopsis

Laser-assisted tissue fusion has been investigated as a new technology to enhance the healing of soft tissues. Laser fusion of intestinal anastomoses shows promise as a method to obtain primary healing while eliminating a foreign-body reaction associated with the sutures. This paper reviews the experimental data that are available regarding laserassisted intestinal anastomoses and summarizes our experience using the CO2, Nd:YAG, and argon lasers to form fusions in small bowel.

Intestinal welding by means of low-power laser has been reported as an efficient method for intestinal anastomosis. We designed an experimental model in rats to investigate collagen and DNA concentrations in CO, laser-welded anastomoses as compared with those in sutured anastomoses on the 4th, 7th,
