Abstract: | A technique was developed for closure of gastrotomy and enterotomy incisions using disposable skin staples. The technique was used successfully in three dogs with gastrointestinal linear foreign bodies that required a gastrotomy and one or more enterotomies. The method allows for secure closure of gastrointestinal incisions and minimizes the surgical time in patients requiring multiple gastrointestinal incisions. |
