Abstract

Currently, partial splenectomy in small pets is carried out in exceptional situations, due to the significant risk of bleeding that threatens the life of the animal. The main issue in spleen surgery is to achieve reliable final hemostasis. Modern literature describes quite a lot of ways to stop parenchymal bleeding, one of such methods is laser radiation, characterized by faster postoperative tissue recovery. For safe work with the tissue of the parenchymal organ, due to the risks of bleeding of different intensity, laser irradiation with different penetration depths is required. However, in the available literature, only laser radiation with a wavelength of 1064 nm is described, which is insufficient in modern veterinary practice. In this regard, the relevance of an experimental study arose, during which the depth of the coagulation effect on the spleen tissue of rabbits of laser radiation with a wavelength of 976 nm was determined.
