Abstract
Laparoscopic procedures offer advantages over traditional laparotomies due to decreased complications, shorter hospital stays, and reduced postoperative pain. Orthopedic needlescopic procedures, in which a 1- to 1.9-millimeter telescope is used, provide these benefits as well as shorter operation times and even less pain and scarring. Needlescopic abdominal procedures have not been investigated in animals. A successful prophylactic gastropexy under needlescopic visualization in a 51.6-kilogram Great Dane dog is reported. This report demonstrates the viability, safety, and success of needlescopic gastropexy in a dog with the use of a 1.9-millimeter needle arthroscope. Key clinical message: New information is provided for future hypothesis advancement on the use of needle arthroscopes for abdominal and thoracic surgery in dogs.
期刊介绍:
The Canadian Veterinary Journal (CVJ) provides a forum for the discussion of all matters relevant to the veterinary profession. The mission of the Journal is to educate by informing readers of progress in clinical veterinary medicine, clinical veterinary research, and related fields of endeavor. The key objective of The CVJ is to promote the art and science of veterinary medicine and the betterment of animal health.
A report suggesting that animals have been unnecessarily subjected to adverse, stressful, or harsh conditions or treatments will not be processed for publication. Experimental studies using animals will only be considered for publication if the studies have been approved by an institutional animal care committee, or equivalent, and the guidelines of the Canadian Council on Animal Care, or equivalent, have been followed by the author(s).
