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 partial splenectomy under the terms of the experiment.

## 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
## Intestinal anastomosis was performed in 17 Wistar rats via tissue welding by the low-energy COz laser. The postoperative course in the animals studied was uneventful. The integrity of the anastomosis w d S investigated manometrically, immediately upon completion of the anastomosis as well as 20
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Carbon dioxide (CO~2~) laser resurfacing is primarily performed on photodamaged facial skin where patients are further exposed to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) postoperatively. We examined whether preβ and postoperative UVR influences the development of CO~2~
## Summary Healing after carbon dioxide laser incisions has been assessed in three animal experiments. Nine incisions in pig skin were found to be significantly weaker after 7 days than similar incisions made with a scalpel, but stronger than those made with a cutting diathermy. Laser excision of s
