Abstract
Objective: To compare survival and report perioperative complications in cats undergoing surgery for small intestinal (SI) linear (LFBO) and discrete (DFBO) foreign body obstructions (FBO). To report success of a red rubber catheter technique (RRCT) to remove LFBOs.
Study design: Retrospective study.
Animals: Client-owned cats (n = 169).
Methods: Medical records of cats undergoing surgery for SI FBO from a veterinary teaching hospital between February 2012 and January 2023 were classified as LFBO, DFBO, or both linear and discrete FBO (BFBO). Signalment and perioperative data were collected.
Results: Preoperative hypoalbuminemia (LFBO: n = 1/6; DFBO: n = 5/6) and septic peritonitis (LFBO: n = 2/4; DFBO: n = 0/4; BFBO: n = 2/4) were rare. Intraoperative hypotension did not differ between LFBOs and DFBOs (p = .4756). RRCT was successful in 20/24 attempts of LFBO removal. Three cats were euthanized intraoperatively (LFBO: 1; DFBO: 1; BFBO: 1). Postoperatively, two cats (DFBO) experienced intestinal dehiscence and two cats (DFBO) died or were euthanized. Survival to discharge (p = 1.0000) and postoperative complications (p = .1386) did not differ between LFBOs and DFBOs.
Conclusions: Postoperative complications and survival did not differ between cats with LFBOs and DFBOs. Intestinal dehiscence secondary to FBO in cats is rare. A RRCT can be successful in many cats with LFBOs.
Clinical significance: Cats with LFBOs and DFBOs have similar postoperative complication rates and survival to discharge when preoperative septic peritonitis is not present. Intestinal dehiscence is rare, which is important when discussing surgical prognosis with owners. A RRCT can be considered to remove LFBOs when there is concern for multiple enterotomies.
期刊介绍：
Veterinary Surgery, the official publication of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and European College of Veterinary Surgeons, is a source of up-to-date coverage of surgical and anesthetic management of animals, addressing significant problems in veterinary surgery with relevant case histories and observations.
It contains original, peer-reviewed articles that cover developments in veterinary surgery, and presents the most current review of the field, with timely articles on surgical techniques, diagnostic aims, care of infections, and advances in knowledge of metabolism as it affects the surgical patient. The journal places new developments in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary to help better understand and evaluate the surgical patient.
