Surgical Technique of Left Lung Reimplantation in the Dog

The instrumentation and technique for reimplantation of the left lung of 6 dogs was described in detail. Thoracic radiographs made during the first 3 postoperative days consistently showed scattered areas of consolidation in the 3 left lung lobes characteristic of alveolar and interstitial infiltrates. Following a peak reaction at 3–5 days postoperatively, the infiltrates gradually resolved at a variable rate and disappeared completely within 2 weeks. All dogs were euthanized 14 days after operation and postmortem examinations were performed. No stenosis was noted in the bronchial, arterial, and atrial anastomoses. Histopathologic examination by light microscopy of lung tissue indicated no abnormalities. Arterial blood gases and pH, and mean pulmonary artery and pulmonary wedge pressures determined immediately prior to euthanasia were within normal limits.     

Cervical Salivary Cysts in the Dog

Abstract— —The Authors consider the following problems associated with cervical salivary cysts: incidence, distribution, diagnosis, cause, pathology, treatment and results of treatment. They present detailed comments on the prospects of success using a line of treatment modified from that originally described by Berge (1938) and more recently described by Kealy (1964).
Résumé— —Les auteurs considèrent les problemes suivants qui sont associés à des kystes cervicaux salivaries: incidence, distribution, diagnostic, cause, pathologie, traîtement et résultats du traîtetnent. Ils présentent des commentaires détaillés sur les chances de succès employant une méthode de traîtc-ment difféente de celle précédemment décrite par Berge (1938) et plus récemment par Kealy (1964).
Zusammenfassung— —Die Autoren erwägen die folgenden, mit zervikalen Spiechelzysten zusam-menhängenden Probleme: Auftreten, Verbreitung, Diagnosis, Ursache, pathologischer Befund, Behandlung und Resultate der Behandlung. Sie machen ausführliche Kommentare über die Erfolgs-aussichten bei Einstaz einer Behandlungsart, welche, von der ursprünglich von Berge (1938) und kürzlicher von Kealy (1964) beschreibenen Methode etwas abweicht.     

Transsphenoidal Hypophysectomy in the Dog A New Technique

A technique for localizing the canine hypophysis regardless of the shape or size of a dog's skull was evaluated. Using known anatomic landmarks, the approximate location of the hypophysis was estimated, and three small self-threading screws were placed as radiographic markers in the exposed sphenoid bone. A cranial sinus venogram was performed and the hypophysis was outlined by the contrast-filled cavernous sinus. A circular ostectomy was centered over the hypophysis, using the previously placed screws as reference points. The technique was evaluated in eight dogs in a nonsurvival procedure. In seven dogs, hypophysectomy was complete and the ostectomy sites were centered precisely over the hypophysis.     

Endotracheal Tube Displacement During Cervical Manipulation in the Dog

A retrospective study was performed to identify positional changes of endotracheat tubes (ETT) during cervical spine radiography in 153 dogs. Three neck positions were identified: traction, hyperextension, and flexion. A properly placed ETT was defined as having the caudal tip of the tube located between the caudal half of the fourth cervical (C) vertebra (C₄) and the caudal half of C₇. In the traction position, before neck flexion and extension, the caudal tip of 13% of ETT were located caudal to C₇, and one tube was in the endobronchial position at the seventh thoracic (T) vertebra (T₇). In the hyperextended position, 60% of ETT moved cranially. The average distance moved was 0.6 vertebral spaces. In the flexed position, all ETT moved caudally. The average distance moved was 3.5 vertebral spaces, with 81.8% of ETT located caudal to C₇ and seven tubes in endobronchial positions. Endotracheal tube occlusion caused by kinking at the atlanto-occipital joint was seen in four dogs during flexion of the neck. Based on this study, ETT position should be monitored during cervical manipulation.     

Indwelling Jugular Catheterization Technique in the Dog

THE main use of indwelling jugular catheters is for the administration of intravenous fluids. Proper placement and fixation of these catheters is important so that a minimum of problems are encountered during the administration of fluid therapy. This photographic essay will show one method of fixation that has been used on many canine patients with few complications.

Dorsal Diaphragmatic Hernias in the Dog: Surgical Repair

Three cases of tearing of the dorsal aspect of the diaphragm are described. Comparisons have been drawn between dorsal diaphragmatic hernias. In all three cases the right dorsal aspect of the diaphragm was involved in the tear. Two cases also had the right diaphragmatic crus torn. The paracostal abdominal approach is recommended to enable adequate visualization and repair of the dorsal aspect of the diaphragm.

Urography in the Dog by an Intravenous Transfusion Technique

Abstract— —A technique of intravenous urography is described which allows more kidney detail to be demonstrated than with conventional intravenous excretion methods. Its possible value in conditions where other routine methods of contrast urography are not effective or are impracticable is also discussed.

A Technique for Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament in the Dog: Preliminary Report

Management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the dog continues to be a difficult problem in veterinary orthopedics. This experimental study evaluated a reconstructive technique for ACL injury. The technique evaluated was an over-the-top procedure using the fascia lata, lateral retinacular tissue, and the lateral one-third of the patellar tendon as a substitute for the ACL. The results of clinical and pathologic evaluation indicate the technique can be used for reconstruction of the stifle joint following ACL injury.     

Evaluation of an Omental Pedicle Extension Technique in the Dog

A two-step omental pedicle extension technique was performed on 10 dogs. Step 1 of the pedicle extension involved release of the dorsal leaf of the omentum from its pancreatic attachment, whereas step 2 consisted of an inverse L-shaped incision to double the length of the pedicle. The pedicle dimensions were measured and the distance reached when extended toward the hind limb, forelimb, and the muzzle recorded after each stage of the procedure. The vascular patency of the pedicle was determined by intravenous injection of flu-orescein dye after the second stage of omental extension. Mean pedicle lengths were 44.5 cm with the first stage of extension and 82.0 cm after full extension. The mean width at the caudal extent of the pedicles after dorsal and full extension was 30.4 cm and 17.2 cm, respectively. Eight of the 10 pedicles were patent after full extension. The fully extended omental pedicles reached and, in most cases, extended beyond the distal extremities and the muzzle. The findings in this study suggest that the canine omentum can be extended to any part of the body without being detached from its vascular supply.
