NEW PROCEDURE OF LASER HEMOSTASIS IN EYE CONJUNCTIVAL VESSELS USING ND:YAG 1.44 MCM
We carried out hemostasis in conjunctival vessels in eyes of 8 rabbits. In each rabbit we employed 1.44 mcm Nd:YAG laser in one eye and diathermy in the fellow eye. Laser hemostasis produces leaves smaller conjunctiva deepithelization area and causes vessel occlusion without any inflammatory reaction and necrosis. Defect epithelization completes three times faster without scar formation.
