Comparison of immediate and short-term outcomes of cricoarytenoid and thyroarytenoid lateralization in dogs with idiopathic laryngeal paralysis.

Objective: To compare the immediate and short-term outcomes of thyroarytenoid lateralization (TAL) and cricoarytenoid lateralization (CAL) for the treatment of canine laryngeal paralysis in dogs.

Study Design: A prospective, clinical trial.

Animals: Fourteen client-owned dogs referred to our hospital because of bilateral laryngeal paralysis.

Objective: To describe the surgical technique for nasal planum reconstruction with a lip-to-nose flap after curative intent surgical excision of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in cats and to report the surgical outcomes.

Study Design: Short case series.

Animals: Seven cats with SCC of the lateral (n = 6) or dorsal (n = 1) aspect of the nasal planum.

Lip-to-nose flap for nasal plane reconstruction in dogs: A cadaveric and in vivo feasibility study.

Objective: To describe a local interpolation flap based on the upper lip for the reconstruction of the dorsal aspect of the nasal plane in dogs.

Study Design: Ex vivo and in vivo case report.

Animals: A 2-year-old medium-sized spayed female mixed-breed dog and a canine cadaver of a medium-sized mixed-breed dog.
