Abstract
A study of tissue healing (liver, kidney, and lungs) after injury by a CO2 laser beam revealed no marked leukocytic infiltration of tissues bordering on the injury. The absence of inflammatory changes during healing is evidence that resorption of injured tissues and proliferation of tissue cells accompanied by inflammation are relatively independent processes and do not constitute a single pathogenetic chain of repair.
