On 8 tongues of decreased humans and 2 live rabbit tongues, drilling and incision experiments were performed using an argon laser. With a power of 50 W a hemiglossectomy was performed in 3-4 min. The average thickness of the tongue was 2 cm and the incision length 10 cm. It was shown on the liver rabbit tongue that no bleeding occurs during a partial hemiglossectomy except at the arteria lingualis. The macroscopical and histological changes of the tissue are described, viz, the carbonization zones, the irreparable cell damage and the coagulation and the hyperaemic edge. The cutting speeds and the incision and drilling data for tongues of varying thickness provide information on the technical conditions for clinical application. In addition, temperatures in the tissue during incision were recorded. The advantages of laser surgery of the tongue are compared with those achieved with the electric knife and scalpel.
在8个死亡人类的舌头和2个活兔舌头上，使用氩激光进行了钻孔和切割实验。以50瓦的功率，在3 - 4分钟内进行了半舌切除术。舌头的平均厚度为2厘米，切口长度为10厘米。在兔的肝脏舌头上显示，除舌动脉外，部分半舌切除术中不发生出血。描述了组织的宏观和组织学变化，即碳化区、不可修复的细胞损伤、凝固和充血边缘。不同厚度舌头的切割速度以及切口和钻孔数据提供了临床应用技术条件的信息。此外，还记录了切割过程中组织内的温度。将激光舌手术的优点与电刀和手术刀的优点进行了比较。
