[Use of laser scalpel in the surgical treatment of injuries of the liver].
An analysis of the 10-years clinical use of CO2-laser scalpel in surgery of traumas of the liver in 41 patients was performed. In 55 patients wounds of the liver were treated by the routine surgical method. Laser coagulation is especially effective for treatment of great area flat wounds. A pronounced hemo- and cholestatic effect of the defocused laser radiation was noted which allowed 3, 5 times more often performing the radical treatment of wounds of the liver. Lethality was reduced from 31% to 24%.
