[Use of YAG-neodymium and CO2 lasers for creating small-intestinal anastomoses].

A method for creating laser enteric anastomoses was developed in experiments with YAG-neodymium and CO2 lasers. The properties of such anastomoses were studied in detail in the early stages after the operation. The use of serial Soviet-produced laser devices and standard surgical instruments in the experiments makes it possible to introduce the results of the work into clinical practice in the near future.

[Laser seromyotomy of the stomach in duodenal ulcers].

The use of laser surgical equipment permits to simplify considerably a method of gastric seromyotomy. On the basis of the results of treating 38 patients, the optimal parameters of laser energy, used in dissection of the gastric wall, are recommended, the advantages and shortcomings of the different sources of radiation are studied.

[A method of laser seromyotomy of the stomach].

A technique of laser seromyotomy was developed as a method for vagus denervation for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers. Soviet Raduga neodymium YAG laser and foreign Medilaz and Flexilas units were employed as sources of laser irradiation. The operation was performed in the 'contact scalpel' mode with the use of Soviet sapphire tips.
