In an experimental study the efficiency of infrared coagulation and the neodymium-yttrium-aluminium and garnet laser (YAG-laser) were compared in operations on the liver, spleen and kidney in the dog. In surgery of the liver, both the YAG-laser and infrared coagulation gave good results. In surgery of the spleen, results with infrared coagulation were excellent, allowing extensive transections and partial resections. Kidney surgery was unsuccessful with either method. Our results are consistent with comparable clinical experience, in that infrared contact coagulation is extremely useful in surgery of the spleen.
