Article Synopsis
- The study focused on developing a new technique for pericardiotomy in horses using a single-port transdiaphragmatic thoracoscopy method, which had not been previously explored.
- After conducting the procedure on six adult horse cadavers, researchers accessed the thoracic cavity through an incision near the xiphoid process and successfully opened the pericardium with endoscopic tools.
- The results showed that this method provided good visualization and manipulation of thoracic structures, suggesting it is a viable alternative for performing pericardial surgeries in equines.
