A comparison of incisions made with a surgical scalpel and a continuous carbon dioxide laser was done. The hog was the subject animal because of its similarity to human skin. The short-term stage of the experiment showed that the laser incisions were far better in terms of tissue repair. However, after several days, the incisions made by the scalpel exhibited better tissue reconstruction. But around the 30th day, both systems displayed similar results. This information may aid a surgeon in making a decision on whether a laser may be used safely in an operation.
对使用手术刀和连续二氧化碳激光进行的切口进行了比较。由于猪的皮肤与人类皮肤相似，因此选用猪作为实验动物。实验的短期阶段表明，就组织修复而言，激光切口要好得多。然而，几天后，手术刀造成的切口显示出更好的组织重建效果。但在第30天左右，两种方式的结果相似。这些信息可能有助于外科医生决定在手术中是否可以安全使用激光。
