[Gallbladder ablation with a laser in an animal model].

Introduction: Attempts to remove the gallbladder by non-surgical means began in the 1980's, by applying chemicals, heat or laser to remove its mucosa and reduce it to an innocuous scar. The aim of this work is to determine whether complete ablation of this organ is possible using total ablation by applying a diode laser.

Material And Methods: Thirty rabbits were divided into 3 groups of 10 animals.
