title: [Initial experiences with the use of the surgical CO2 laser scalpel].
abstract: Reported in this paper is the surgical applicability, as established from 35 operations, of the Type TLS 61 laser scalpel of Tungsram Rt, 60 Watt in output. Useful experience has been recorded from surgical approaches to thorax cavity as well as from general, gastro-enterological, vascular, and dermatological surgery. Minimised bleeding and sterile incisions are benefits of laser operations. The above model has proved to be applicable to skin, muscles, lung, stomach, intestines, bones, and other tissues. Wound healing was absolutely okay. After-bleeding or other complications did not occur.
