  • Title: Open intestinal anastomosis with surgical stapling equipment in 24 dogs and cats.
    Author: Ullman SL, Pavletic MM, Clark GN.
    Journal: Vet Surg; 1991; 20(6):385-91. PubMed ID: 1369520.
    Abstract:
    Surgical stapling equipment was used to perform open antiperistaltic side-to-side ("functional end-to-end") entero-anastomoses in 20 dogs and 4 cats. Twenty-one anastomoses healed uneventfully. Seven animals with severe bacterial peritonitis required open peritoneal drainage and delayed abdominal closure. There was postoperative leakage at the anastomotic site in two dogs and a localized abscess at the staple line in one cat. No long-term complications occurred in follow-up periods of 3 to 29 months.
