To compare short- and long-term complications after tenectomy of the deep digital flexor tendons or onychectomy and owner satisfaction with these surgical procedures.
Prospective cohort study.
20 cats undergoing tenectomy and 18 cats undergoing onychectomy.
Cats undergoing tenectomy or onychectomy were monitored for a minimum of 5 months to enable comparison of type and frequency of complications. Owner satisfaction was also assessed.
Cats undergoing tenectomy had significantly lower pain scores 24 hours after surgery, compared with those undergoing onychectomy. Type and frequency of other complications did not differ between procedures. Owners appeared to be less satisfied with the tenectomy procedure than with the onychectomy procedure, although scores for satisfaction with each procedure were not significantly different.
Owners should be aware of the high complication rate for both procedures and of the need for constant trimming of claws of cats that have undergone tenectomy.
比较指深屈肌腱切除术或爪切除术的短期和长期并发症以及主人对这些手术的满意度。
前瞻性队列研究。
20只接受肌腱切除术的猫和18只接受爪切除术的猫。
对接受肌腱切除术或爪切除术的猫进行至少5个月的监测，以便比较并发症的类型和发生率。同时评估主人的满意度。
与接受爪切除术的猫相比，接受肌腱切除术的猫在术后24小时疼痛评分显著更低。两种手术的其他并发症类型和发生率没有差异。主人对肌腱切除术的满意度似乎低于爪切除术，尽管两种手术的满意度评分没有显著差异。
主人应了解两种手术的高并发症发生率，以及对接受肌腱切除术的猫需要持续修剪爪子。
