Laser Therapy for Incision Healing in Nine Dogs

The study titled "Laser Therapy for Incision Healing in 9 Dogs" investigated the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on surgical incision healing in 9 dogs with intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). The results showed that daily application of 8 J/cm² laser therapy for 7 days significantly improved the rate and cosmetic appearance of incision healing compared to the control group. Treated dogs exhibited reduced inflammation, faster tissue regeneration, and less scarring, with significant improvements noted from day 5 through day 21. Despite the small sample size, the findings suggested that LLLT could be a valuable adjunct treatment for enhancing surgical wound healing in veterinary practice.
