    Laser welding offers a faster and equally effective alternative to traditional suturing for carotid artery repair in rats. This CO2 laser microsurgery technique achieved 100% patency and comparable endothelial healing.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Vascular anastomosis is crucial for reconstructive surgery.
    • Traditional suturing techniques can be time-consuming and may cause tissue damage.
    • Advancements in laser technology offer potential for improved surgical methods.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of CO2 laser welding for carotid artery anastomosis in rats.
    • To compare laser welding with conventional suturing in terms of patency, operative time, and anastomotic quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Rat carotid arteries were anastomosed using a self-designed CO2 laser microsurgical machine.
    • Control arteries were anastomosed using conventional 11/0 nylon thread suturing.
    • Patency, operative time, and endothelial healing (via scanning electron microscopy) were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • 100% patency was achieved in both laser-welded and sutured groups at all time points (immediate to 2 months).
    • Laser welding reduced operative time by 5-6 minutes compared to suturing (5-6 min vs. 10-15 min).
    • Endothelial growth in laser-welded arteries reached 98% by day 10, comparable to the sutured group.

    Conclusions:

    • CO2 laser welding is a viable and efficient method for carotid artery anastomosis.
    • This laser microsurgery technique demonstrates excellent patency and comparable anastomotic healing to sutures.
    • Laser welding presents a promising alternative to conventional suturing in vascular surgery.
