    A new carbon dioxide laser offers an effective alternative to electrocautery for partial splenectomy. This surgical laser demonstrated successful utility in canine hemisplenectomy procedures without complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Surgical Technology
    • Laser Applications

    Background:

    • The advent of freehand carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers presents novel surgical instrumentation.
    • Electrocautery is a standard surgical tool, but laser technology offers potential advantages.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the utility of a freehand carbon dioxide laser with electrocautery for partial splenectomy.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CO2 laser in a surgical setting.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study was conducted on five dogs undergoing hemisplenectomy.
    • Procedures involved the use of a freehand carbon dioxide laser versus electrocautery.

    Main Results:

    • All five dogs survived the surgical procedures without any reported complications.
