Dogs with experimental fibrosing pancreatitis were subjected to laser tunneling to assess its effect on the dynamics of some morphometric indices of the pancreas. On post-tunneling day 60, volume ratio of the parenchyma significantly increased while the volume ratio of the stroma decreased in comparison to the dogs with fibrosing pancreatitis not corrected by laser tunneling.
