✦ Synopsis

A contact Nd:YAG laser with a sapphire tip was used to perform excisions in the eyelids of rabbits in order to compare the healing process and the wound strength to similar excisions made using a stainless steel blade. There was no bleeding from the excision made with the Nd:YAG laser; both groups showed similar wound strength and scars at the end of the experimental study.

A histochemical method for demonstrating lactate dehydrogenase activity was used in addition to standard Van Gieson stain to study early alterations near wounds made in pig skin by steel scalpel, electrocautery, two modes of COz laser (the rapid superpulse mode and the continuous wave mode), and con
