  • Title: Lung resection using surgical staples in dogs and cats.
    Author: LaRue SM, Withrow SJ, Wykes PM.
    Journal: Vet Surg; 1987; 16(3):238-40. PubMed ID: 3507149.
    Abstract:
    Thirty seven dogs and cats were subjected to lobectomy, partial lobectomy, or pneumonectomy using stapling equipment. The most common indication was neoplasia. No operative, perioperative, or long-term deaths could be attributed to the use of staples: complications were minimal. Staple resection was believed to be safe, fast, and efficient for removal of various segments of canine and feline lung.
