“…The decreasing of the CRP approaching baseline concentrations have been demonstrated to happen at different time-points in different studies. While baseline concentrations were reached 1 week after surgery in one study [ 35 ] and 2 weeks after surgery in other studies [ 27 – 29 ], baseline concentrations were, however, still not reached after 17 days in yet another study [ 25 ]. Further studies are needed in order to explain these differences and to define the exact time-points for normalization of CRP concentrations post-surgery.…”

“…Minimizing tissue trauma and subsequent stress response is a goal of surgery [ 42 ] and CRP is often included as an objective marker in studies investigating this response in dogs [ 37 , 42 , 43 , 45 ]. CRP has on several occasions been used in studies investigating new surgical procedures for the veterinary clinic [ 26 , 29 , 31 , 35 ], in studies using dogs as model for human disease [ 27 , 28 , 30 ], and in studies comparing different surgical procedures [ 32 , 34 ]. In the last group several studies have compared surgical trauma by comparing different surgical procedures in different tissues [ 9 , 33 ].…”

“…In studies investigating laparoscopic splenectomy, colopexy, and ovariohysterectomy with open surgery, significantly lower concentrations of CRP have been demonstrated in laparoscopic surgery compared to open surgery in comparable tissues [ 33 , 35 , 39 ]. However, CRP was measured as a secondary outcome measure in most of these studies (Table 2 ) and all studies were affected by considerable risks of bias (Fig.…”

C-reactive protein: quantitative marker of surgical trauma and post-surgical complications in dogs: a systematic review

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a major acute phase protein showing increasing serum concentrations in dogs with systemic inflammation following e.g., surgery, trauma, infections, or neoplasia. CRP is a useful diagnostic marker of systemic inflammation in dogs and automated assays have been validated for reliable measurements for routine diagnostic purposes. In the present study available evidence for the use of CRP as a marker of surgery related systemic inflammation in dogs was reviewed and assessed. Two main themes were in focus: (1) canine CRP as a potential marker of postsurgical infectious complications and (2) canine CRP as a marker of the degree of surgical trauma. As outlined in the review several studies suggest that CRP is a useful marker for both purposes. However, the evidence level is limited and studies in the field are all affected by considerable risks of bias. Thus, further studies are needed in order to confirm the assumptions from previous studies and increase the level of evidence for CRP as a useful marker for detecting inflammation after surgery in dogs.

“…These factors are prone to biased reporting by enthusiastic surgeons and are difficult to measure in the animal environment (Bingener et al 2009). The determination of systemic inflammation has been utilised to provide a more objective, quantitative measure of operative trauma and is increasingly common in postoperative monitoring (Zhang et al 2013). As this was only a preliminary study, only a small number of animals were included.…”

Abomasal cannulation, an important research tool in experimental procedures, provides a method for the placement of an abomasal cannula in sheep. The aim of this study was to describe a technique for laparoscopic abomasal cannulation in sheep. It was performed in six anaesthetised sheep positioned in dorsal recumbency using three portals in the abdomen. The first absorbable traction suture was placed 1 cm cranial to the determined abomasal cannula site. A stab incision was made with a laparoscopic monopolar hook electrode in the middle of a purse-string suture placed around the abomasal cannula site. The T-shaped cannula was inserted into the abomasum lumen through the stab incision, and the second traction suture was then placed 1 cm caudal to the abomasal cannula site. The T-shaped abomasal cannula was pulled out of the abdominal cavity through the exit wound located 3-5 cm lateral and 10-12 cm cranial to the right side of the umbilicus. The two traction sutures were tied. The T-shaped cannula was secured to the skin with a finger-trap suture. Repeat laparoscopy was performed 1 month later. Firm adhesion between the abomasum and abdominal wall was observed in all sheep, with no evidence of leakage or peritonitis. No major intraoperative or postoperative complications were encountered. The median surgical time was 49 min, with a range from 42 to 58 min. The abomasal contents were collected easily. In conclusion, laparoscopic abomasal cannulation is safe and easy to perform. Its low complication rates and the "ideal" placement of the tube into the abomasum make it an especially attractive alternative to traditional surgical abomasal cannulation in veterinary practice.

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.
