[Pathomorphologic characteristics of the healing process of laser surgical wounds of the pancreas].

Morphological changes in the pancreatic glands were studied at immediate and remote intervals after resection of its tail part by means of carbon dioxide continuous wave laser. Features of the structure of the laser crust and typical changes in the blood capillaries playing an important role in hemostasis were determined by electron microscope studies. Healing of laser surgical wounds of the pancreatic glands is of the type of healing under crust and is usually not accompanied by the phase of purulent melting of laser-coagulated tissues ending in uncomplicated scarring.
