Abstract Objective To compare the effectiveness of four different intestinal anastomosis techniques at preventing leakage after enterectomy. Study design Experimental study. Sample population Grossly normal jejunal segments (N = 70) from three fresh canine cadavers. Methods Eight‐centimeter cooled cadaveric were randomly assigned to a control group (six segments) and treatment groups (16 each [two segments/anastomotic construct]): (1) handsewn (HSA), (2) barbed suture (B‐HSA), (3) stapled...
Abstract Objective To describe the use of near‐infrared angiography (NIRFA) to identify vascularization three canine axial pattern flaps (APFs) omocervical (OMO), thoracodorsal (THO), and caudal superficial epigastric (CSE); establish a vascular fluorescence (VFP) grading system; evaluate effect NIRFA on surgeon flap dimension planning compared traditional landmark palpation (LP) visualization assessments. Study design Experimental study. Animals A total 15 healthy, client‐owned dogs....
Abstract Objective To compare leak pressures and construct completion time of six intestinal anastomoses report normal canine gastrointestinal thickness. Study design Experimental study. Animals Grossly jejunal segments (n = 140) from 10 fresh cadavers. Methods Gastrointestinal thickness was recorded. Eight‐centimeter cooled cadaveric were randomly assigned to a control group (20 segments) treatment groups segments/group [10 constructs/group]): (1) handsewn anastomosis (HSA), (2) functional...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To compare the rate of postoperative dehiscence on basis intraoperative anastomotic leak test results (ie, positive or negative for leakage testing not performed) between dogs that underwent hand-sewn anastomosis (HSA) functional end-to-end stapled (FEESA) small intestine. ANIMALS 131 client-owned 144 intestinal anastomoses (94 FEESA and 50 HSA). PROCEDURES Medical records were searched to identify had undergone a (HSA FEESA) from January 2008 through October 2019. Data...
Abstract Objective —To compare volumes of square knots and Aberdeen in vitro evaluate security these knot types when used as buried terminal for continuous intradermal wound closures canine cadavers. Design —Experimental study. Sample —24 surgically closed, full-thickness, 4-cm, epidermal wounds 4 cadavers 80 tied vitro. Procedures —Continuous were performed with 4–0 polyglyconate completed a technique. Surgeon (intern or experienced surgeon) termination type (4-throw 2 + 1 knot; 12 each)...
To compare time to construct completion and resistance leakage for five intestinal anastomosis techniques in cats report normal feline gastrointestinal thickness.
<p class="AbstractSummary"><strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate inter- and intra-observer variability, influence of hair clipping laser guidance on canine thigh circumference (TC) measurements amongst observers.<strong></strong></p><p class="AbstractSummary"><strong>Background:</strong> It was our goal to further study the reliability TC as currently performed. For this purpose we designed a cadaveric model that allows for controlled...
Abstract Objective To compare the prevalence of pre‐, intra‐, and postoperative variables complications associated with staphylectomy (S) folded flap palatoplasty (FFP). Study design Retrospective study. Sample population Client‐owned dogs ( n = 124). Methods Medical records S FFP from a veterinary teaching hospital were reviewed between July 2012 December 2019.
