Abstract
The effect of carbon dioxide (CO2) and Nd-YAG high-energy lasers on the formation of peritoneal adhesions was studied using light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy in albino rats. Both types of lasers initiate the development of peritoneal adhesions similar in structure. The intensity of adhesion formation is markedly lower in the case of Nd-YAG laser as compared to the action of CO2 laser of the same power.
