“…A pericardial window is performed prior to right auricular mass resection, with the purposes of relieving cardiac tamponade and allowing full evaluation of the size and location of the mass via pericardioscopy. If the mass lesion is large or approaching the base of the auricle, conversion to an open thoracotomy should be pursued [68]; if the mass is not surgically resectable the pericardial window may be palliative in the short-term. A pericardial window or subphrenic pericardiectomy may prolong survival time in dogs with aortic body tumors [69]; this same advantage has not been appreciated in dogs diagnosed with right auricular hemangiosarcoma if the primary mass is not removed at the time of surgery [70].…”

Surgical management of neoplastic disease is common in veterinary medicine. Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has gained widespread acceptance by veterinary surgeons and is experiencing rapid growth and frequency of use. Many neoplastic diseases in the abdomen and thorax of dogs and cats can be treated as effectively with MIS as with traditional open surgery. Additionally, MIS allows for less invasive options for organ biopsy in cancer patients either for initial diagnosis or for staging to inform prognosis and treatment. Despite the recent increase in MIS, additional research is required to further characterize the benefits to oncology patients and to ensure that surgical oncologic principles and patient outcomes are not compromised by the use of MIS.
