  • Title: [The effect of various surgical technics on neuroma development using the neodymium laser].
    Author: Mewe R, König HJ, Künstler R.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1989; 127(1):130-4. PubMed ID: 2718589.
    Abstract:
    The development of neuroma after surgery of peripheral nerves is an unsolved problem. Conventional methods like suture after cutting by seizure or bipolar coagulation cannot control it until today. Contradict results are reported since different types of laser were introduced in surgery. In an animal experimental study on rats the Neodym Yag laser is superior to conventional methods described above. After severance and reanastomosis of the sciatic nerve by laser in none of these cases a development of neuroma could be observed until three months of surviving.
