Abstract
- This study was undertaken to assess the relative effectiveness of the CO2 laser and electromicrosurgery in adhesiolysis. Intraperitoneal adhesions were produced in 44 female white rats by inflicting a standard and reproducible injury to the serosa of a specific area of the right uterine horn. At a second intervention, 2 weeks later, the adhesions formed by the initial injury were assessed and division of adhesions effected in a random manner, either with the use of the CO2 laser or with electromicrosurgery, adhering to accepted microsurgical techniques. At a third intervention, results were assessed. The results demonstrate that electromicrosurgery and the CO2 laser are equally effective for adhesiolysis in the rat model.
