Abstract

Low energy CO₂ laser was used to perform intestinal anastomosis by means of tissue welding in 10 Wistar rats. The post operative course in the studied animals was uneventful. The integrity of the anastomosis was investigated manometrically, immediately upon completion of the anastomosis and twenty days later. Ten Wistar rats served as control in which conventional interrupted one -layer anastomosis was performed. The results show a significant superiority (P<0.05) to those intestinal anastomoses which were constructed by means of laser tissue welding. The time to complete the anastomosis was also significantly shorter when the laser was used, as compared to hand suturing. Serial histological examinations up to 90 days following surgery revealed complete healing and epithelialization of the anastomotic site. The technical details of the CO₂ laser anastomosis are described.
