  ABSTRACT: Pharyngeal pouch surgery by the external approach has been shown to be effective but has a relatively high complication rate. We compared the outcome of 17 patients who had cricopharyngeal myotomy alone or combined with excision/inversion/suspension, simple pouch excision and Dohlman's procedure with 17 patients who had the relatively new Endo GIA-30 endoscopic stapling technique. Results were obtained retrospectively by postal questionnaire and medical records. We conclude that endoscopic stapling shortens the return to normal diet and in-patient stay. These patients also experience better swallowing and are generally more satisfied with the procedure. We have accepted endoscopic stapling as the method of choice for the treatment of pharyngeal pouches.

• Article: A comparative histological study of wound healing following CO2 laser and conventional surgical excision of canine buccal mucosa.

  ABSTRACT: The histological changes following removal of 2 cm discs of buccal mucosa by CO2 laser and conventional surgery were studied over a period of 42 days. The laser wound differed from the conventional wound: there was minimal damage to the adjacent tissue; initially a coagulum of denatured protein formed on the surface; the inflammatory reaction was less; fewer myofibroblasts were present and there was little wound contraction; less collagen was formed and epithelial regeneration was delayed and more irregular.
