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 inflammetory reaction was a feature of electrosurgical incisions on days 6 , 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.
