Article Synopsis
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of early ultrasound in diagnosing postoperative bowel dehiscence in cats and dogs after intestinal surgery, focusing on key ultrasound indicators for identifying dehiscence.
  • Out of 114 animals, only 7 dogs showed ultrasound-suspected dehiscence, with all but one confirmed during subsequent surgeries, highlighting specific ultrasound features like wall discontinuity and gas bubbles as reliable signs.
  • The findings indicate that ultrasound can significantly improve early detection of dehiscence, leading to a high survival rate of 83% after revision surgery and a short median hospitalization duration of 2 days.
