PETLAS FOR SMALL ANIMAL TREATMENT

PETLAS FOR SMALL ANIMAL TREATMENT



Ease of diode laser use
The diode laser was found to be easy to use in all treatment cases. Instructions for use were easy to follow. The laser's small size it could be moved easily. It only required regular 120-volts AC household current. Therefore there was no difficulty in providing electrical power to the laser. Often both the diode laser and an electrosurgery unit were both set up and used in the same area ofthe operating room. The optical fibers (400 and 600um diameter, with the various types oftips) could be cleaned; the tips striped with a stripping instrument (Micro-Strip) supplied by CeramOptec, Inc., The quartz fibers could then be coiled and packaged and resterilized with either ethylene oxide or by autoclaving. Sterilization indicators were placed within each package to ensure sterility. The hand piece was easy to resterilize by either ethylene oxide or by autoclaving.


Surgical hemostasis and estimation of blood loss savings
Hemostasis was excellent in all but the liver and prostate surgeries. In the liver and prostate surgeries the
use of an electrosurgery unit, ligatures and stick-ties were necessary to control the hemorrhage. A
continuous closure suture was also needed to stop hemorrhage created in the soft palate when resection of its elongated section was performed. The laser was particularly effective in preventing hemorrhage during perianal, anal, and tongue mass removal. Sutures were used to close these structures and during passage of these sutures hemorrhage occurred indicating good viability despite the presence of a dry field prior to closure. It is estimated that with the use of the laser a blood loss savings of 50% occurred over that which would have otherwise occurred with conventional surgery. Blood loss savings were particularly appreciated with use of the laser with skin mass removal when involving the vascular areas of the face, perineum, or eyelid. Mass removal could be done in an almost bloodless field. Vascular skin tumors such as hemangiosarcomas and hemangiomas were able to be removed without the loss of over 2-5 ml of blood. This is compared to an average estimated loss of 25 to 50 ml with scalpel and/or electrosurgery use.
