Abstract OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical characteristics, treatments, complications, and outcomes in dogs with nasal planum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) undergoing local treatment. METHODS A retrospective, multi-institutional study was performed. Medical records were searched to identify diagnosed SCC. Variables recorded from medical statistically analyzed. RESULTS 89 included. The most common presenting complaint a visible mass on (89%). Metastasis detected 12% of at time therapy. Local...
Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate endoscopy for detection of epithelial remnants within the feline tympanic bulla following ventral osteotomy (VBO) and to report most likely locations occur. METHODS This was a single-center experimental cadaveric study. 10 VBO procedures were performed by 5 board-certified surgeons in cadavers. Following completion, 1.9-mm, 30° rigid endoscope inserted into rostral, caudal, dorsal, lateral, medial section, images acquired. A blinded observer evaluated...
Cross-sectional imaging may be used to characterise the location and extent of colorectal mesenchymal tumours (CRMTs). Given anticipated variation in tumour behaviour varying morbidity based on surgical margins, a reliable, non-invasive means predicting malignant potential could facilitate case management. The purpose this multi-institutional, retrospective study was determine diagnostic accuracy contrast-enhanced CT for distinguishing benign CRMTs. Twenty-seven dogs with CRMTs were...
Objective To retrospectively investigate a novel surgical technique using the Fitz Intervertebral Traction Screw (FITS) combined with string‐of‐pearl (SOP™) locking plates for treatment of Disc Associated Wobbler Syndrome (DAWS). Study design Case series (n = 16). Methods Ventral approach and fenestration affected disc(s), nuclear extirpation, insertion FITS device to level dorsal annulus was followed by application one or two 3.5 mm SOP™ plates. Autogenous cancellous bone graft placed...
Local recurrence after surgical excision of canine massive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been poorly studied in veterinary medicine with scant information published regarding risk factors for and outcome following recurrence. The aim this case-control study was to describe the time recurrence, evaluate potential report dogs HCC. Medical records 75 who developed 113 did not develop were reviewed. Statistical analyses performed determine as well median overall survival (OS). None...
Objective To determine mid‐term complication rate associated with a modified sliding humeral osteotomy (SHO) technique and compare clinical outcome or without focal treatment (FT). Animals Dogs (n = 46; 60 elbows) severe persistent lameness attributable to medial coronoid disease (MCD). Methods Signalment, lameness, pain score, preoperative radiographic findings were recorded. Modified Outerbridge score fissure/fragmentation recorded arthroscopically. SHO was performed technical...
Abstract Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNST) of a plexus or root cause significant morbidity and present treatment challenge. The surgical approach can be complex information is lacking on outcomes. objective this study was to describe complication rates oncologic outcomes for canine MPNST the brachial lumbosacral plexus. Dogs treated naïve with amputation/hemipelvectomy without laminectomy were retrospectively analysed. Oncologic disease free interval (DFI), overall survival...
An eight‐month‐old Labrador retriever was presented with a grade IIIb open shearing injury of the left tarsus. Acute severe surgical site infection developed 2 days after pan‐tarsal arthrodesis, resulting in wound dehiscence. Vacuum‐assisted therapy carried out for 12 to treat an extensive full‐thickness soft tissue defect exposure metal implants. New granulation formation covering most achieved by day 10 this therapy. Epithelialization second intention healing management. To authors’...
To use micro-computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the fissure-fracture pattern in dogs affected by medial coronoid disease (MCD).Prospective case-controlled study.Client owned (n = 21) and cadaver 5).Segments were excised subtotal ostectomy from with MCD. Two categories identified: fissured (Fi) or fractured (F). Three subcategories contingent on orientation: tip (T), radial incisure (RI), encroaching (RIT). Control segments nondiseased cadavers. High-resolution micro-CT (3 dimensional 2...
In this case series we describe the diagnosis and surgical treatment of five cats affected by clinical cauda equina syndrome as a result degenerative lumbosacral stenosis. Radiographic magnetic resonance imaging findings confirmed suspected disc-associated disease. Cauda decompression was achieved dorsal laminectomy followed annulectomy nuclear extirpation. Dorsal stabilization using miniature positive-profile pins inserted into vertebral body L7 wings S1 with free ends being embedded in...
The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy and repeatability shoulder abduction test assess effect transection medial support structures in canine cadavers. angle measured by three separate observers, both with extended at a neutral angle. Shoulder then measured, using craniocaudal fluoroscopic images. Arthroscopy performed all joints, transected one each dog. observers again angles dogs. fluoroscopy. Accuracy were assessed linear mixed models. All had different when compared...
This case report describes a three-year-old male intact border collie diagnosed with canine papillomavirus type 1 (CPV-1+) oral papillomas resistant to standard-of-care. With time, he developed lesions consistent squamous cell carcinoma. Malignant tumors were incompletely excised and treated definitive external beam radiation therapy (45 Gy, 3 Gy × 15 daily). The remaining cavity received 27 (1.8 x daily) treat the disseminated papillomatosis. A temporary treatment delay of 2 weeks was...
The aim of the study was to describe laparoscopic ultrasound (LUS) guide microwave ablation (MWA) hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a dog.
A case of bilateral fibrotic contracture the infraspinatus muscles in a five-year-old Belgian Shepherd dog is described. The was presented with progressive forelimb lameness postural and gait abnormalities three months after an episode overexertion. When walking, lower part both forelimbs swung lateral arc causing circumduction movement standing position, showed elbow adduction external rotation distal front limbs. Orthopaedic examination revealed atrophy supraspinatus restriction range...
Abstract A 13‐year‐old, male neutered domestic short‐haired cat was diagnosed with multiple biliary duct hamartomas after liver lobectomy for a suspected malignant hepatic mass. Distinguishing ultrasonographic findings included lobular, mostly well‐defined, heterogeneous, predominantly hyperechoic, left Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of fluid to soft tissue attenuating, heterogeneously hypoenhancing divisional Grossly, large sided multilobular pale pink gelatinous mass...
The goal of this study was to determine whether computer-assisted surgical navigation improves the accuracy tibial component alignment in canine total knee replacement (TKR).Retrospective radiographic review and prospective ex vivo study.Canine TKR radiographs (n = 17 sets) cadaveric stifles 12).Radiographs from workshops were reviewed incidence magnitude malalignment. Tibial compared after either standard ("surgeon-guided") placement or ("navigation-guided") placement. Results against...
