Performances of novel custom 3D-printed cutting guide in canine caudal maxillectomy: a cadaveric study.

Introduction: Caudal maxillectomies are challenging procedures for most veterinary surgeons. Custom guides may allow the procedure to become more accessible.

Methods: A cadaveric study was performed to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of stereolithography guided (3D-printed) caudal maxillectomy.

Post-operative complications following apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma resection in dogs.

Describe the complications associated with surgical resection of primary apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASACA) tumours study design multi-institutional retrospective cross-sectional cohort study Animals Client owned dogs with spontaneous disease using the Clavien-Dindo classification system, post-operative events were assigned and described. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse for risk factors for a significant association with complications. One hundred sixty-one dogs were included in the analysis.

Effect of epitendinous suture caliber on the tensile strength of repaired canine flexor tendons.

Objective: To determine the effect of epitendinous suture (ES) caliber on the tensile strength of flexor tendon repairs in cadaveric specimens from dogs.

Sample: 60 cadaveric superficial digital flexor tendons (SDFTs) from 30 skeletally mature dogs.

Procedures: Specimens were randomly assigned to 5 suture caliber groups (n = 12 SDFTs/group).

Staged mandibular lip flap for closure of a large palatal defect after maxillectomy in a dog.

Objective: To report closure of an oronasal defect secondary to maxillectomy with a staged mandibular lip flap.

Study Design: Case report ANIMALS: One 9-year-old female spayed golden retriever.

Methods: A combined dorsolateral and intraoral approach was used to perform a central maxillectomy to excise a 2.

Adherence to follow-up recommendations for dogs with apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma: A multicentre retrospective study.

Progressive disease is common following anal sacculectomy for apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASACA); additional therapy may prolong survival. Adherence to medical recommendations influences therapeutic success in humans. The purpose of this study was to assess the adherence to follow-up recommendations in dogs with AGASACA.
