## Abstract A freehand carbon dioxide laser is now available for surgical procedures. A comparison of its utility with the electrocautery was carried out in five dogs by the performance of hemisplenectomy. All dogs survived without complications. The laser proved to be an effective instrument for p

## Abstract CO~2~ laser myringotomy has previously been proven effective in patients with serous otitis media for shortβterm aeration of the middle ear. However, the system based on a microscope and a coaxially aligned laser is cumbersome and expensive. The advantage of CO~2~ laser energy is the hi
## Abstract Twentyβeight partial nephrectomies were performed on nine pigs with a simultaneous, coaxial CO~2~βNd:YAG laser at power settings of 20 W and 40 W, or with a steel scalpel. A vascular pedicle clamp was used without renal cooling. The time for hemostasis was 4.5 Β± 3.2 min (mean Β± SD) with
## Abstract The use of the CO~2~ laser in liver surgery is mainly limited by the lack of coagulation of the larger vessels. In an experimental study, partial liver resections were performed on pigs with a Nd:YAG as well as with a combined CO~2~ and Nd: YAG laser. The best cutting efficiency was obt
The yield behavior of an amorphous glassy polymer has been studied with true tensile stress-strain curves, obtained at various crosshead speeds by means of a new experimental method. A constitutive equation from nonlinear viscoelasticity has been used, with the further assumption that the material,
