Clinical and histologic evaluation of laser reanastomosis of the uterine tube

Conventional microsurgical reanastomosis was compared with laser microsurgical reanastomosis of previously ligated uterine tubes in 14 rabbits. A final laparotomy was performed to determine adhesion formation and uterine tube patency, and a histologic examination was done of the anastomosis sites us...

Zusammenfassung:Conventional microsurgical reanastomosis was compared with laser microsurgical reanastomosis of previously ligated uterine tubes in 14 rabbits. A final laparotomy was performed to determine adhesion formation and uterine tube patency, and a histologic examination was done of the anastomosis sites using four histologic indices for grading. Laser microsurgery produced significantly less adhesions (mean±standard error of the mean adhesion score, 0.79±0.24) than conventional microsurgery (2.29±0.13, P
