[The Nd YAG laser in the treatment of hepatic echinococcosis].

Nd YAG Laser photocoagulation for the purpose of residual cavity treatment following echinococcectomy was introduced in 1996, and practically implemented in the Department of General and Operative Surgery. Eleven patients with uncomplicated echinococcus of the hepar, 4 with purulent echinococcosis and 4 with rupture of the biliary tree, aged 26 to 80 years, are subjected to operation. The advantages and possibilities of dispersed laser application in hydatid disease treatment are discussed. The short-term results are estimated as satisfactory.

[Laser hemorrhoidectomy].

Thirty-two patients are subjected to operation using CO2 laser. In nine of them laser submucous hemorrhoidectomy is performed--a procedure also developed in the Department of Abdominal Surgery. Most patients operated by the method of Milligan--Morgan and Whitehead with laser define the postoperative pain as medium severe. Eight of 9 patients, operated after the method of submucous hemorrhoidectomy using laser clamps, estimate the pain as mild, and one--as medium severe. The patients are followed up over periods ranging from six months to three years. Assessment of the late postoperative results show recurrence of the disease in one case (3.12 per cent), operated according to Milligan--Morgan. Stenosis of the anus as a complication of Whitehead's operation is recorded in one case, and sensory incontinence--similarly in one (totalling 6.25 per cent).
