The benefits of fast-track surgery are improved recovery and a shorter period of postoperative convalescence. After uncomplicated colonic resection, there is no pathophysiological basis for recommending a postoperative convalescence of more than 2-3 weeks. Advice after discharge - Convalescence: Daily activities and light exercise should be resumed as soon as possible. Physically moderate work should be resumed after two weeks. Physically severe exercise and lifts (> 10 kg) as well as physically strenuous work may be resumed after 3-4 weeks.

Background: Bipolar vessel-sealing devices (BVSD) have been used for muscle transection in canine limb amputations; however, a retrospective study of their use, and particularly the short-term complications, has not yet been reported.
Objectives: To describe the use of a BVSD as the main method for muscle transection in canine limb amputations and to report the incidence of short-term incisional complications following these surgeries.
Animals And Procedure: Medical records of dogs undergoing limb amputations using a BVSD from January 2017 to December 2018 were reviewed for demographics, preoperative findings, intraoperative complications, and short-term outcomes.
