High-level laser light for little-invasive cholecystectomy

Abstract

Purpose. To optimize and to scientifically background a laser surgical technology which helps to deliver and to effectively use laser light - generated by the latest, high-level lasers - at some stages of videolaporoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with various forms of cholelithiasis. Results. The experimental studies with 80 patients has proven that the area of thermal damage was by 1.9 times less in average after laser technology than without it. Reparative processes were characterized with a shorter inflammatory phase as well as with minimal exudation and leucocytic reaction; with earlier (since the 3rd postoperative day) formation of matured granular tissue and connective scars the width of which was by 3.1 times less as to compared to those after electrosurgical technique.
