The neodymium YAG laser in surgery of parenchymatous organs in childhood. 1990

P P Schmittenbecher
Pediatric Surgical Clinic, Dr. von Hauners Childrens Hospital, University of Munich, Federal Republic of Germany.

In seven patients laser resections of liver, spleen and kidney were carried out. Three liver tumours, a hemisplenectomy in Hodgkin's disease, a traumatic spleen injury, an Echinococcus infection of the liver and a pole resection in double kidney were dealt with. Healing was undisturbed in all cases, no biliary or urinary fistulae were observed. Further indications are seen in pancreatic and pulmonary resection. The neodymium YAG laser is a useful instrument in parenchymatous surgery in childhood. Resections are possible without loss of blood and without or with a reduced necessity of transfusion. After traumatic lesions preservation of organs is possible.
