Carbon dioxide (CO) laser and bipolar vessel sealing device (BSD) are industry standards for soft palate resection. No studies exist to directly compare these 2 techniques in a clinical setting. The purpose of this study was to describe and compare clinical outcomes for dogs that underwent CO laser BSD staphylectomy. Medical records of brachycephalic dogs that underwent CO laser (Group-L) or BSD staphylectomies (Group-B) between September 2013 and September 2017 were reviewed retrospectively. Of 60 dogs that met the inclusion criteria, 26 dogs (43%) were designated Group-L and 34 (57%) Group-B. Techniques did not differ in procedure or anesthetic time ( = 0.52 and = 0.19, respectively) or major complication rates [intraoperative ( = 1.00), post-operative ( = 0.72), short-term ( = 1.00), and long-term ( = 0.68)]. This study suggests that patient outcomes are similar for dogs undergoing staphylectomy performed by CO laser and BSD.
二氧化碳（CO）激光和双极血管闭合装置（BSD）是软腭切除术的行业标准。目前尚无研究在临床环境中直接比较这两种技术。本研究的目的是描述和比较接受CO激光或BSD悬雍垂切除术的犬的临床结果。回顾性分析了2013年9月至2017年9月间接受CO激光（L组）或BSD悬雍垂切除术（B组）的短头犬的病历。在符合纳入标准的60只犬中，26只犬（43%）被指定为L组，34只犬（57%）为B组。两组在手术过程、麻醉时间（分别为P = 0.52和P = 0.19）或主要并发症发生率[术中（P = 1.00）、术后（P = 0.72）、短期（P = 1.00）和长期（P = 0.68）]方面无差异。本研究表明，接受CO激光和BSD悬雍垂切除术的犬的患者结局相似。
