title: [Modification of the infrared light coagulator LC 250. Development of probes for endoscopic use].
abstract: With regard to prior positive results using the infrared-light-coagulator LC 250 for hemostasis of bleeding parenchymal organs and inoperable tumors, new tubes with 5 and 10 mm diameter were developed for laparoscopic purposes. The first clinical experiences showed the secure and rapid hemostasis after bleedings of the liver following a cholecystectomy, smaller resections and biopsies also resulted after lesions of the abdominal wall. The newly developed applicator consisting of a metal or teflon grip, improved the performance of these probes.
