The milliwatt carbon dioxide ((30,) laser has been shown to be an effective device for performing laser-assisted microvascular anastomosis (LAMA) with consistently high patency rates, minimal tissue disruption, and rapid surgical time as well as the potential for reduced inflammation due to fewer fo

โฆ Synopsis
The milliwatt CO2 laser was used to anastomose small vessels in a rat femoral artery model. The technique requires multiple brief applications of 60-70 mW after placement of three equidistant 10-0 nylon stay sutures. The vessel histology is described immediately and 1, 3, 7, and 21 days after the procedure. The laser effects tissue bonding through changes in the collagen of the adventitia and media. Subsequent healing consists of new collagen deposition in the adventitia and reendothelialization of the intima associated with neointimal proliferation at 3 weeks.

## Background and objective: Laser-assisted tissue repair is often accompanied by a high dehiscence rate, which may be due to alterations in suture material after laser exposure. the goal of this study was to investigate the effect of co2 laser irradiation on the tensile strength of microsurgical s
Microvascular anastomosis is a demanding skill requiring technical excellence and a thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Every suture placed in a microvascular anastomosis should be considered critical as each has the potential to compromise the delicate reconstruction. As such, any device
