This study examines the depth of thermal coagulation and charring in swine liver, kidney cortex, tongue (inferior surface), skeletal muscle, inflated lung, and skin resulting from in vivo incision with simultaneous coaxial CO, and Nd:YAG (1.064 pM) laser beams. At values of 20 w and 40 w, respective

## 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
Dose recommendations for the use of the Nd:YAG and CO2 lasers have been accepted with little laboratory analysis. We have examined both endoscopic and open applications in the bladder and open applications on the kidney with the lasers over a variety of power and pulse duration settings. In addition
This study compares the incidence of local tumor recurrence following primary excision with the CO2 laser, Nd:YAG laser (contact), Argon Beam Coagulator, or electrocautery. One hundred eight Fisher 344 rats with R3230AC mammary tumors (1.6 k 0.04 [SD] cm diameter) were used. All animals were randomi
