Skin closure by Nd: YAG laser welding

Skin incisions 6 mm in length were made on the backs of hairless mice. Control wounds were closed with interrupted 5-0 Prolene sutures, and experimental wounds were approximated and closed by laser welding using a Nd: YAG laser. The wounds were examined daily, and specimens were excised at weekly in...

description Skin incisions 6 mm in length were made on the backs of hairless mice. Control wounds were closed with interrupted 5-0 Prolene sutures, and experimental wounds were approximated and closed by laser welding using a Nd: YAG laser. The wounds were examined daily, and specimens were excised at weekly intervals for histopathologic study, transmission electron microscopy, tensile strength determination, and type I collagen-specific messenger ribonucleic acid measurements. The laser-welded wounds demonstrated rapid healing. Histologic study showed a functional scar tissue at day 7 and a minimal residue of the original wound at day 14. Tensile strength of the control and experimental wounds was similar at all time points. The levels of collagen-specific messenger ribonucleic acid were significantly higher in the sutured group in comparison with the laser group or with normal control skin. This study suggests that laser welding might have advantages over suturing, since the former is sterile and nontactile, does not require introduction of foreign material into the wound, and provides subjectively improved cosmetic results.
