摘要:

Gastric drainage procedures are commonly used in veterinary medicine, particularly in dogs in attempts to prevent recurrence of gastric dilatation‐volvulus (GDV). The following five different procedures have been most commonly described: the Fredet‐Ramstedt pyloromyotomy (FRP); Heineke‐Mikulicz pyloroplasty (HMP); Finney pyloroplasty (FP); Jaboulay's gastroduodenostomy (JG); and antral gastrojejunostomy (AG). These surgical procedures have not been compared in a controlled study. This first article of a series of three describes the gastric drainage procedures performed in 30 normal dogs for a comparative study. The FRP and HMP were the fastest and easiest procedures to perform. The degree of difficulty was found to be increased but similar for FP, JG, and AG. No complication occurred during or immediately after su

摘要:

Complete gastric emptying time using barium sulfate mixed with commercial canned dog food was measured radiographically in 29 mature mixed breed dogs before and 3 to 4 weeks after Fredet‐Ramstedt pyloromyotomy (FRP) (6 dogs), Heineke‐Mikulicz pyloroplasty (HMP) (6 dogs), Finney pyloroplasty (FP) (6 dogs), Jaboulay's gastroduodenostomy (JG) (6 dogs), and antral gastrojejunostomy (AG) (5 dogs). The dogs were observed for clinical evidence of side effects. Postoperative endoscopic examination and double contrast gastrography were performed to subjectively evaluate the diameter of the gastrointestinal communication and the amount of enterogastric reflux. Although none of the procedures significantly (p<0.05) altered gastric emptying time, the overall tendency was toward slowing down gastric emptying time. The severity of gastrointestinal side effects and enterogastric reflux appeared to be related to the size and/or location of the gastrointestinal open

摘要:

Postmortem macroscopic examination of the gastrointestinal tract and plastic moldings of the gastrointestinal communication were done in 29 dogs which had been subjected 3 to 4 weeks previously to one of the following gastric drainage procedure: (1) Fredet‐Ramstedt pyloromyotomy (FRP) (6 dogs); (2) Heineke‐Mikulicz pyloroplasty (HMP) (6 dogs); (3) Finney pyloroplasty (FP) (6 dogs); (4) Jaboulay's gastroduodenostomy (JG) (6 dogs); and (5) antral gastrojejunostomy (AG) (5 dogs). Plastic moldings were also done in nine normal dogs of similar size for comparative measurements. Postmortem examinations and plastic casts of the antropyloroduodenal segment and antrojejunal communication showed significantly widened pyloric canal or large gastrointestinal communication compared to control dogs in all groups except for the FRP group. Almost complete healing had occurred at the myotomy site in FRP dogs, and the pyloric lumen was not significantly larger (0.05) than the pyloric lumen of the control dogs. The lumen of the gastrointestinal junction was increased approximately 4.5 times in the HMP group, 12.0 times in the FP group, 7.2 times in the JG group, and 10.0 times in the AG gr

摘要:

This article describes a technique for stabilizing coxofemoral luxations in dogs that uses placement of nonabsorbable sutures from two screws in the dorsal acetabular rim to a screw in the trochanteric fossa of the femur to create a prosthetic capsule. Twenty‐one hips with luxations that were either recurrent or greater than 7 days duration were treated. Owners of 17 dogs were contacted from 4 to 40 months after surgery. Eight dogs were reported as having excellent function, three had good function, three had fair function, and three had poor function. No complications directly related to the technique were reporte

摘要:

A technique for satisfactory arthroscopic examination of the lateral and medial femorotibial joints of the horse is described. The entry portal is made between the middle and medial patellar ligaments with the horse on its back and the stifle flexed. This position allows easy access to view the intercondylar eminence of the tibia. From this reference point, examination of all but the most caudal and medial structures of the joints are possible by manipulating the sleeve and telescope and maintaining joint distention. In a series of 20 examinations, iatrogenic trauma was recognized only once.

摘要:

Eighteen stored split thickness meshed skin grafts were applied to surgically created lesions on the metacarpal and metatarsal regions of six horses. Donor skin was harvested from the sternal region, meshed and stored at 4°C in a cell culture medium containing 10% serum. Stored grafts were applied to the wounds at 1, 2, and 3 week intervals. Acceptance of the grafts stored for 1 week was generally poor (1 of 6 grafts), whereas that of the 2 and 3 week old grafts was generally excellent (10 of 12 grafts). Poor acceptance of the 1 week old grafts was attributed to streptococcal infection of the recipient wounds. Using the storage medium and grafting technique described, excellent acceptance can be expected after graft storage of up to 3 weeks

摘要:

Three bilateral thyroidectomy techniques used in 41 hyperthyroid cats over a 7 year period were compared for rates of postoperative hypocalcemia. Extracapsular dissection of the thyroid glands resulted in an 82% rate of postoperative hypocalcemia. An intracapsular dissection technique produced a 36% rate of postoperative hypocalcemia. The incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia was reduced to 11% when bilateral thyroidectomies were done asynchronously (staged), 3 to 4 weeks apart. Immediate postoperative treatment with dihydrotachysterol did not reduce the incidence of postoperative hypocalcemia. Because the incidence of hypocalcemia did not differ significantly between intracapsular and staged intracapsular dissection, the authors concluded that staged bilateral thyroidectomy in hyperthyroid cats had limited benefit over simultaneous bilateral thyroidectomy.

摘要:

Fractures of Metacarpal and Metatarsal II and IV (the splint bones) were treated in 283 horses over an 11 year period. In 21 cases the proximal portion of the fractured bone was stabilized with metallic implants. One or more cortical bone screws were used in 11 horses, and bone plates were applied in 11 horses. One horse received both treatments. Complications of screw fixation included bone failure, implant failure, radiographic lucency around the screws, and proliferative new bone at the ostectomy site. Only two of the horses treated with screw fixation returned to their intended use. Complications of plate fixation included partial fixation failure (backing out of screws), wound drainage, and proliferative bony response around the plate. Six of the 11 horses treated by plate fixation returned to their intended use. The authors recommend consideration of plate fixation techniques for repair of fractures in the proximal third of the splint bone.

摘要:

Primary paranasal sinusitis complicated by inspissated exudate within the ventral conchal sinus was diagnosed in five horses. Clinical signs included a unilateral, foul‐smelling, mucopurulent nasal exudate of 2 to 7 months' duration. Two of the horses had partial nasal obstruction from distortion of the ventral concha. Radiographs of the skull showed a mass of soft tissue density dorsal to the roots of the superior third and fourth or fourth and fifth cheek teeth. Treatment included bone flap maxillary sinusotomy with exposure of the ventral nasal concha and removal of inspissated exudate. Resolution of the sinusitis occurred in all five horse
