Abstract
Use of a CO2 laser to resect the soft palate in 6 dogs with elongated soft palate is described. The technique was rapid and uncomplicated; hemostasis was not a problem. Breathing was noticeably improved in all dogs immediately after surgery. Use of the CO2 laser represents a new option for surgical treatment of elongated soft palate in dogs.Entities:
