There were described in veterinary literature, the possibility of pneumothorax as a complication of laparoscopic surgery in dogs undergoing laparoscopic ovariectomy associated with total laparoscopic gastropexy.
To assess if spontaneous pneumothorax secondary to pneumoperitoneum is a real risk in dogs undergoing total laparoscopic gastropexy.
Dogs undergoing totally laparoscopic gastropexy received chest X-rays (CXR) in lateral (left and right) and ventro-dorsal projection before and after the surgery. Two veterinary radiologists reported the x-rays and indicated the presence or not of pneumothorax.
Postoperative pneumothorax was not detected on postoperative CXR in the total of 76 dogs of the study.
The odds risk of pneumothorax after total laparoscopic gastropexy surgical procedure is low.
兽医文献中描述了在接受腹腔镜卵巢切除术联合全腹腔镜胃固定术的犬中,作为腹腔镜手术的并发症,气胸的可能性。
评估在接受全腹腔镜胃固定术的犬中,气腹引起自发性气胸是否是一个真正的风险。
接受全腹腔镜胃固定术的犬在手术前后接受了侧位(左、右侧)和腹背位的胸部 X 光(CXR)检查。两名兽医放射科医生报告了 X 光片,并指出是否存在气胸。
在总共 76 只研究犬中,术后 CXR 未发现术后气胸。
全腹腔镜胃固定术后发生气胸的几率很低。
