| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> Prophylactic gastropexy is an applicated for prevention in
large breed dogs, especially gastric dilatation volvulus (GDV)'s
surgery. In this study, ventral midline gastropexy and laparoscopic
gastropexy which are effect of prophylaxis of GDV were
compared for prognosis and surgical intervention.<p>
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> The study material consisted of 12
dogs. Average weight of 20-30 kg dogs, respectively. The dogs
were divided into two groups. The dogs in group 1 classic gastropexy
method were applied. Laparoscopically assisted gastropexy
was applied in dogs in group 2. Biochemical analysis and
blood gas have been investigated for examination in the preoperative
and postoperative period by the 9th day. Ultrasonographic
examinations were performed with convex probe 5-7.5 MHz. Direct
and indirect radiographic examinations were performed of
postoperative period by 9th days.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Post-operatively, dogs, daily controlled for 9 days after
the operation. The results of both operative techniques revealed
fast and easy applicability. The average operating time for the
classic gastropexy was 20 minutes. Laparoscopic group which
time 41.5 minutes was determined to be average. There were no
complications of both techniques of post-operative care. Postoperative
gastric peristaltic contractions were counted on day 7 by
ultrasonography for both groups. Classic laparoscopic supported
gastropexy and found an average of 4-5 contraction. Radiologic
examination of the stomach, location, size, shape, content,
and rugal gastric wall were encountered with any pathological
condition.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> At the end of the study, both techniques, laparoscopic
and conventional gastropexy can be applied for emergency
surgery and prophylactic interventions. |
