Approach and procedure time were recorded, and surgical extent (cardiac exposure/exteriorization, pericardial fragment area) was assessed. Procedural difficulty and intraoperative visibility were also assessed to evaluate feasibility.Results: Total surgical time (sum of approach and pericardiectomy time) did not differ between groups, although PDR pericardiectomy took longer (p = .045) by an average of 5.2 min. Exteriorization of the heart from the pericardial sac was achieved for all trials. Pericardial fragments from PDR trials were larger than those of ILR (p = .004), with a mean difference of 23.21 cm2. Cardiac exposure and operative visibility scores were greater for PDR procedures.Conclusion: The ILR approach with bilateral ventilation was a feasible alternative for performing partial pericardiectomies, which did not require more total surgical time when compared with the PDR approach.Clinical significance: The ILR approach for TP warrants further evaluation in live dogs as it may hold promise for treating causes of pericardial effusion that do not require subtotal pericardiectomy and improving efficiency when paired with other ILR procedures such as thoracic duct ligation.","PeriodicalId":23667,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"68-76"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11734878/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142802391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Truncated face and open face versions of the BFX cup were defined and measured with various angles of cup version, cup inclination, and pelvic extension.Results: Truncated face version was different from and underestimated open face version by 12° to 22° (p < .001). Open face version varied with inclination while truncated face version was unaffected by inclination. Open face version was dependent on the degree of pelvic extension while truncated face version was unaffected.Conclusion: Open face version differed from truncated face version. Changes in open face version were not consistently matched by a change in truncated face version.Clinical significance: The open face of the cup may be excessively retroverted without this being reflected by truncated face retroversion as seen on a ventrodorsal radiographic view. However, in this study, BFX cups placed with truncated face version and inclination in the normal range and an ALO of 45° yielded predictable open face version.","PeriodicalId":23667,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"219-227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141617211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiographic measurements included the length of the greater trochanter, femoral diaphysis and distal epiphysis, width of the femur 10 mm distal to the distal aspect of the greater trochanter, width of the femur at 50%, and femoral condylar offset.

Scores for each task were compared within and between groups.Results: The box group's post-training scores were higher than pretraining scores for all box tasks. The VR group's post-training scores were higher than pretraining scores for most VR tasks. Median post-training scores were higher in the box group than the VR group for all box tasks. Median post-training scores were higher for the VR group than the box group only for VR intracorporeal suturing. Neither program led to a substantial improvement in simulated surgical task performance.Conclusion: In this study the box trainer seemed more effective than the VR trainer for training novices to perform most basic tasks. The lack of substantial improvement of simulated surgical task performance is likely related to study limitations including small sample size and short training timeline.Impact: Both training systems increased basic laparoscopic skills in novices.
