A Laparoscopic‐Sutured Gastropexy Technique In Dogs: Mechanical and Functional Evaluation

The Journal of Veterinary Medical Science

et al. 2013

ABSTRACT. Colopexy was accomplished in eight healthy mixed-breed dogs by use of a 3-portal laparoscopic technique without major intraoperative and postoperative complications. A permanent adhesion between the colon and the abdominal wall was observed. Concentrations of acute-phase C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in serum as a marker of systemic inflammation postoperatively, and no relevant increase in CRP concentrations was found.

Laparoscopic Colopexy in Dogs

“…In the present study, the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines after laparoscopic abomasal cannulation and their return to baseline levels at 7 days indicate that tissue trauma associated with the overall surgical procedure was short-lived. The significant differences of the peak values of IL-6 and TNF-α, coupled with the statistically significant lower postoperative serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels in LAC compared with OAC, strongly supported the theory that laparoscopic technique is less traumatic than conventional open technique, as reported in literature (21,22), and therefore LAC is a good alternative technique for abomasal cannulation in sheep.…”

Comparison of laparoscopic and traditional abomasal cannulation in sheep

Introduction: The objective of this study was to describe a laparoscopic abomasal cannulation (LAC) technique, and compare the extent of the surgical trauma after LAC and open abomasal cannulation (OAC) by examining postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and serum values of interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α in sheep. Material and Methods: Twelve healthy ewes, weighing 38-43 kg, were used. Three-portal laparoscopic techniques were used for LAC procedures. OAC was performed by a right flank laparotomy. Results: Abomasal cannulation was accomplished in all sheep without major intraoperative and postoperative complications. The abomasal contents were collected easily in both groups. Comparative studies found that open procedures exhibit a more pronounced short-term increase in cytokines and significantly higher VAS pain scores than the corresponding laparoscopic procedures. Conclusion: The laparoscopic technique proved to be less traumatic than the conventional open technique.

“…CRP is a highly sensitive marker of acute inflammation, tissue damage, sepsis, and postoperative complications (Eckersall et al 1989;Yamamoto et al 1993;Dabrowski et al 2007). Serum IL-6 concentrations can be used for the assessment of the extent of surgical trauma (Mathon et al 2009). Our study results indicated that the serum concentrations of CRP and IL-6 after conventional cystostomy were significantly higher than those after LC.…”

“…Minimally invasive surgery is known to be associated with early recovery and less pain compared to open surgery (Boothe 2000;Ewoldt et al 2006;Mathon et al 2009;Lansdowne et al 2012;Azzouni et al 2013). Studies have shown that the serum concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are lower for laparoscopic procedures than for open surgeries (Cho et al 1994;Halevy et al 1995;Maruszynski and Pojda 1995;Karayiannakis et al 1997;Hildebrandt et al 2003).…”

Laparoscopic cystostomy in pigs: Technique and comparison with traditional open cystostomy for surgical stress

et al. 2014

Cystostomy is a common procedure in veterinary surgery. We describe a technique for laparoscopic cystostomy (LC group; n = 7) in Bama miniature pigs and compare the surgical stress induced by this procedure to open cystostomy (OC group; n = 7). A three-portal approach was used for laparoscopic cystostomy. First, we placed 2 simple interrupted sutures between the ventral body wall and urinary bladder. Then, a purse-string suture was placed in the urinary bladder wall, approximately 1 cm cranially to the two sutures. A stab incision was made at the center of the purse-string suture and a 12-F Foley catheter advanced into the urinary bladder; the suture was then pulled tightly and tied. Again, two interrupted sutures were placed 1 cm cranially to the catheter, between the ventral body wall and the bladder, to establish cystopexy. The extracorporeal portion of the catheter was fixed to the skin by a finger-trap suture. Blood samples were collected to measure the white blood cell count and serum concentrations of cortisol, interleukin-6, and C-reactive protein; follow-up laparoscopy was performed 1 month after the surgery. Laparoscopic cystotomy was successfully performed in all the pigs; the mean operating time was 43 ± 5 min. The levels of the stress markers reflected a lower stress response for LC than OC. Thus, LC appears to be better than OC both in terms of technique and physiological responses elicited, and may be more suitable than OC in the creation of experimental animal models for investigations on urinary diseases and those requiring diversion of urine flow.Minimally invasive surgery, urinary bladder, cortisol, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6
