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

โฆ Synopsis
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.

## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The success of laser tissue welding or soldering depends on optimal laser settings, solder material, and tissue type and geometry. To develop a practical laser welding technique for ureteral repair, an intraluminal albumin stent was designed to enhance the
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives The outcome of thulium laser urethrotomy for patients with urethral stricture had not been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcome of endourethrotomy with the thulium laser as a minimally invasive treatment for urethral stricture. ## Ma
Fifty-four patients have been successfully endoscopically treated without complications using contact neodyrniurn:YAG laser probes (endoprobes) for tumors and bleeding and, during open surgery (laser scalpel), for liver and pancreatic resections.

## Abstract ## Background. Failure of free flaps is frequently because of failure of the venous vascular anastomosis. A new venous anastomosis technique that uses the stump of the internal jugular vein (IJV) is described, with preliminary data on operative outcomes. ## Methods. Retrospective ana
