The carbon dioxide laser has become an important surgical instrument in human and veterinary medicine. The unique properties of this laser make it the instrument of choice for precise incision, coagulation, and vaporization of tissue at the body surface with minimal morbidity to the patient. This article describes the instrumentation and techniques used to perform a variety of equine general surgical procedures with the carbon dioxide laser. The benefits of surgery using the carbon dioxide laser include precise dissection with minimal trauma to adjacent tissues, good hemostasis, and the ability of the laser beam's thermal properties to kill bacteria or tumor cells in the operative field.
二氧化碳激光已成为人类和兽医学中一种重要的外科手术器械。这种激光的独特特性使其成为在体表精确切割、凝固和汽化组织的首选器械，对患者的发病率降至最低。本文介绍了使用二氧化碳激光进行各种马类普通外科手术的器械和技术。使用二氧化碳激光进行手术的好处包括精确解剖，对相邻组织的创伤最小，良好的止血效果，以及激光束的热特性能够杀死手术区域的细菌或肿瘤细胞。
