    Abstract:
    The work describes the peculiarities of radical resections of the breast with high-energy CO2 laser in the treatment of patients with early stages of breast carcinoma. The advantages of the laser scalpel are pointed out. Twenty radical operations were conducted for breast carcinoma with the use of a CO2 laser. The operation did not last longer practically, blood loss diminished by half (from 350 ml to 150 ml), and the wounds healed in the usual periods. Reduced pain sensitivity in the region of the wound was noted in the postoperative period. The study is continued.
