Abstract: | To evaluate the feasibility of a 980-nm contact diode laser (CDL) as a method for creating a posterior laryngofissure in live pigs. Twenty-eight Landrace pigs (15-20 kg) were anesthetized, intubated, ventilated, and submitted to a cervical tracheostomy. An anterior and posterior midline longitudinal laryngofissure incision was created according to randomization-control (n = 4), posterior laryngofissure with a scalpel blade; electrocautery (n = 12), posterior laryngofissure by electrocautery (10, 15, 20, 25 W powers); CDL (n = 12), posterior laryngofissure by the CDL (10, 15, 20, 25 W peak powers in pulsed mode). Larynx and proximal trachea were excised, prepared for histopathology, and digital morphometric analysis. Measurements in and within each group were analyzed (Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn test) with a level of significance of p < 0.05. Incision width was not different between the groups, as well as in the powers used in CDL (p = 0.161) and electrocautery group (p = 0.319). The depth of the incisions was smaller in the Laser group compared to control (p = 0.007), and in the electrocautery compared to control (p = 0.026). Incision area was smaller in CDL compared with the control (p = 0.027), and not different between laser and electrocautery groups (p = 0.199). The lateral thermal damage produced by electrocautery was the largest, with a significant difference between laser and electrocautery (p = 0.018), and between electrocautery and control (p = 0.004), whereas the comparison between laser and control showed no significant differences (p = 0.588). The posterior laryngofissure incision using a 980-nm CDL is feasible resulting in smaller incisional area and less lateral thermal damage. |
