Comparative Study[Microsurgery and laser surgery in conservative operations on the ovary. Experimental research].
In this study we compared two different conservative surgery techniques performed on 12 ovaries of female rabbits: microsurgery and CO2 Laser surgery. After the surgical procedure all the animals were investigated by a Laparotomy to evaluate the post-operative adhesion formation. ⋯ We did not find significant differences between the two methods employed, particularly for the adherence formation and the parenchymal thermic damages: no post-operative adhesions were detected respectively in 3 ovaries operated on by microsurgery and 5 by laser surgery; slight adhesions were present in 2 ovaries treated with microsurgery and in 3 with laser surgery; 3 ovaries treated with microsurgery and 2 with laser surgery showed moderate adhesions. Only 2 ovaries treated with microsurgery presented severe adhesions.
