title: [Surgical laser papillosphincterotomy].
abstract: The still rather limited application of laser in biliary surgery is pointed out, to experience gained so far, including personal one, laser is being used in extirpation of the gall bladder, for treatment of the bladder bed, for choledochotomy and for papillosphincterotomy. Laser papillosphincterotomy was performed in a 65-year-old female patient--the first case in this country. This method has some advantages--adequate hemostasis, absence of reactive edema, early re-establishment of bile flow, adhesion of the incision edges.
