HISTOPATHOLOGICAL EVALUTION OF HEAING OF GASTRIC WOUNDS FOLLOWING ELECTROSURGERY AND CONVENTIONAL SURGERY IN EXPERIMENTAL DOGS
Abstract
The healing of gastric wounds following electrosurgery and conventional surgery was compared in ten experimental dogs based on histopathological studies. Comparatively an acute and severe inflammatory reaction was a feature of electrosurgical incisions on days b, 12 and I8 postoperatively whereas, no significant change was noticed between the two groups with the healing being comparable on days 24 and 30 following surgery.
