A comparative evaluation of the biochemical damage observed after tissue injury by high-power CO2 laser, scalpel and electrical diathermy was made in rabbits. The tissue injury consisted of surgery performed by making 2 perpendicular linear cuts on the muscle of the posterior thigh. At different times after surgery, enzymatic levles of creatine kinase, aspartate amino transferase and lactate dehydrogenase were determined in the serum. Only creatine kinase showed an increase, and it was lower in both extent and dispersion in the animals treated with CO2 laser. Apparently, CO2 laser radiation caused damage to muscular tissue which was moderately lower compared to that from scapel or electrical diathermy.

Abstract
A comparative evaluation of the biochemical damage observed after tissue injury by high-power CO2 laser, scalpel and electrical diathermy was made in rabbits. The tissue injury consisted of surgery performed by making 2 perpendicular linear cuts on the muscle of the posterior thigh. At different times after surgery, enzymatic levles of creatine kinase, aspartate amino transferase and lactate dehydrogenase were determined in the serum. Only creatine kinase showed an increase, and it was lower in both extent and dispersion in the animals treated with CO2 laser. Apparently, CO2 laser radiation caused damage to muscular tissue which was moderately lower compared to that from scapel or electrical diathermy.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
