title: [Contact- and suture-free hemostasis on the kidney parenchyma by means of a new infrared radiation instrument (MICOR)].
abstract: A new industrial instrument named MICOR (prototype), which means "Melting with Infrared Concentrated Radiation", is used on the dog kidney. We compare haemosytpiss after partial resection by scalpell using convential sutures (16 dogs) and MICOR (17 dogs);the dog kidneys are single organs. The results show, that MICOR--without touching kidney--is very effective and as effective as parenchym--sutures. Comparing examinations of morphology and kidney function show no essential difference between both methods. By renal clearance techniques an advantage MICOR could be shown. We expect better results by imporvement of the MICOR and hope for a helpful use in human surgery.
