title: [Precise resection of the lung using neodymium YAG laser].
abstract: Radiation of the neodymium YAG laser in the noncontact and contact regimens with a sapphire tips was employed for maximally sparing removal of different pathological formations from the lung. The laser was used for dissection and coagulation of lung tissue to obtain reliable air- and hemostasis of the wound surface of the lung. A total of 29 patients were operated on. A noncontact photocoagulation regimen produces a strong coagulation layer that sustains the intrapulmonary pressure up to 40 cm H2O. Preliminary ligation of large bronchial branches in the resection zone is obligatory. The postoperative period showed a rapid restoration of lung tissue structure at the site of intervention.
