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.
