Dynamic chronic rectal obstruction causing a severe colonic dilatation in a cat.

Case Summary: A 5-year-old male neutered domestic shorthair cat was presented to our referral centre with a 13 month history of chronic tenesmus due to malunion of the right caudal iliac body. Constipation and pelvic canal stenosis were initially addressed by the referring veterinarian with a right femoral head and neck excision and a right acetabulectomy without observable clinical improvement. At admission, abdominal radiographs revealed severe colonic distension and a narrowed pelvic canal caused by the right proximal femur.

Comparison of Single Port Access Versus Multiple Port Access Systems in Elective Laparoscopy: 98 Dogs (2005-2014).

Objective: To report and compare the duration of surgery, the frequency of complications, and the frequency of open conversion for elective surgeries performed with 2 laparoscopic techniques: a single incision port access system (SPAS) and a multiple port access system (MPAS) using a Veress needle.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Animals: Ninety-eight consecutive, client owned dogs.

Free proximal cortical ulnar autograft for the treatment of distal radial osteosarcoma in a dog.

This report describes the use of a non-vascularized proximal cortical autograft from the ipsilateral ulna in limb-sparing surgery for the treatment of distal radial osteosarcoma. A pancarpal arthrodesis was performed to stabilize the site. Construct failure and probable local tumor recurrence were observed.
