Thirty New Zealand White female rabbits underwent tubal resection and reanastomosis for comparison of conventional microsurgery and laser microsurgical techniques. The rabbits were divided into three groups. The first group of 10 rabbits had 3 cm of tissue resected by knife from each uterine horn; the cut ends were then reanastomosed in one layer with 8-0 Vicryl sutures with the use of the operating microscope. The second group of 10 rabbits had 3 cm of tissue resected by laser from each uterine horn; the cut ends were then reanastomosed in one layer with 8-0 Vicryl. The third group of 10 rabbits had 3 cm of tissue resected by laser from each uterine horn; the cut ends were then reanastomosed by "welding" the tissues with the laser. All rabbits in the first group became pregnant. Only four in the second group became pregnant, but none in the third group became pregnant. It is concluded that the carbon dioxide laser beam as used in this study has no place in tubal resection and reconstruction.
