title: [Histologic and enzyme histochemical studies of the rabbit uterine horn following the use of various methods of coagulation].
abstract: Supplementing the data published by Riedel et al. histological and biochemical methods were employed to investigate the changes in the seperate tissue layers of the uterus horn, in particular the extent of destruction and the regenerative potential of the destroyed tissue, after various coagulation methods had been applied which differed in their destructive effect. The distal uterus horns of 303 white New Zealand Rabbits were coagulated with mono- or bipolar high frequency current, endocoagulation or with a CO2-laser, power, duration and coagulation temperatures were varied for each method. 1 to 12 weeks later, the tissue was removed by laparotomy, and histological or immune histochemical evaluation was carried out. Endocoagulation according to Semm was followed by excellent wound healing, with coagulation areas and regnerative potential similar to the Neodym-YAG-laser method described elsewhere.
