[Hemostatic effects of the argon laser on the gastric wall in the dog. I. Preliminary study: effects of the laser on the normal gastric wall].

The authors describe the pathological lesions caused by argon laser emitted rays on the healthy gastric mucosa in 22 dogs. They compare 126 photocoagulated areas while varying the intensity and the exposure time of the laser ray in order to determine the ideal constants of an efficient photocoagulation, devoid of risk and with rapid healing of the lesions.
