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 expe

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,
A new technique is described for performing vas anastomoses in experimental animal (rats). A low-power COz laser appears to be effective in welding together the cut ends of the divided vas deferens.
The authors present a new technique of end-to-side microvascular anastomosis in a rat carotid artery model, employing a milliwatt COP laser. Both carotid arteries were isolated and approximated in an end-to-side fashion by the placement of four 10-0 nylon stay sutures. The milliwatt C02 laser was u
