Laparoscopic resection of pancreatic masses in 12 dogs.

Objective: To describe the surgical management and outcome of dogs undergoing laparoscopic pancreatic mass resection (LPMR).

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Animals: Twelve client-owned dogs.

Laparoscopic portosystemic shunt attenuation in two cats.

Case Series Summary: Gradual attenuation of an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt using cellophane banding was achieved with a laparoscopic technique in two cats. The portosystemic shunts were treated via a right or left lateral laparoscopic approach. Ultrasonography or CT angiography were used to verify the results of surgery.

Laparoscopic portosystemic shunt attenuation in 20 dogs (2018-2021).

Objective: To describe the technique, complications, and outcome of laparoscopic portosystemic shunt attenuation (LPSSA) in dogs.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Animals: Twenty client-owned dogs.

Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy With Potassium-titanyl-phosphate Laser Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: An Animal Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To explore the feasibility, safety, and short-term results of potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (KTP-LPN) vs conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (C-LPN).

Materials And Methods: Thirty large white female pigs were randomized to KTP-LPN or C-LPN. Laparoscopic radical right nephrectomy was performed, and an artificial renal tumor was placed in the left kidney in 3 locations.

Muscle activity and hand motion in veterinarians performing laparoscopic training tasks with a box trainer.

Objective: To evaluate muscle activity and hand motion in veterinarians performing a standard set of laparoscopic training tasks.

Sample: 12 veterinarians with experience performing laparoscopic procedures.

Procedures: Participants were asked to perform peg transfer, coordination, precision cutting, and suturing tasks in a laparoscopic box trainer.
