fter successful experiments on autopsy specimens and acute experiments in cats (4), we have now carried out a long-term study in dogs to establish whether, subsequent to light coagulations with the argon-ion laser in the oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, late morphological sequelae occur which are not observable in the acute experiments. For these light coagulations effected through a fibre-endoscope, a photo-coagulation system specially developed by us for this purpose and employing a fully-flexible plastic lightguide was used. Using various organ-orientated output powers and application durations, lesions of varying depth, together with coagulation zones were produced which, like peptic ulcers or erosions, healed within 12 to 24 days leaving behind a scar. Complications, in particular perforations, were not observed in any of the total 116 coagulations with the laser beam. The advance over electrocoagulation achieved with the laser beam is evident and is discussed. Our photocoagulation-system has been successfully applied in operative endoscopy to patients since June 1975.
