  • Title: Stapled typhlectomy via colotomy for treatment of cecal inversion in a dog.
    Author: Clark GN, Wise LA.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1994 May 15; 204(10):1641-3. PubMed ID: 8050946.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old Weimaraner was examined because of chronic diarrhea, hematochezia, and moderate weight loss. Cecal inversion was diagnosed by use of colonoscopy. Exploratory surgery was performed, and the inverted cecum was exteriorized through a colotomy. Typhlectomy was performed by use of a stapling instrument that formed a full-thickness division of the cecum with a double row of staples on each side. This stapling technique provides a rapid, reliable method for treatment of cecal inversion when the cecum cannot be reduced manually.
