Abstract: | Objectives
To develop an experimental standing hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HALS) technique, report the associated peri-operative complications and document the short-term surgical outcomes.
Methods and Results
Five healthy 300–470 kg horses that underwent standing HALS. Spleens of different weights (2.25–7.0 kg) were removed using this technique. The main complication during surgery was difficulty sectioning the gastrosplenic ligament. The postoperative complications included adhesions of the colon to the nephrosplenic ligament stump and incisional discharge in two horses.
Conclusions
Standing HALS is a feasible experimental procedure for medium-sized horses, which avoids rib excision and general anaesthesia, but requires further development. Objetivos Desarrollar una técnica experimental de esplenectomía laparoscópica permanente asistida manualmente (HALS), informar de las complicaciones perioperatorias asociadas y documentar los resultados quirúrgicos a corto plazo. Métodos y resultados Cinco caballos sanos de 300-470 kg fueron sometidos a una HALS en bipedestación. Mediante esta técnica se extirparon bazos de diferentes pesos (2,25-7,0 kg). La principal complicación durante la cirugía fue la dificultad para seccionar el ligamento gastroesplénico. Las complicaciones postoperatorias incluyeron adherencias del colon al muñón del ligamento nefrosplénico y secreción incisional en dos caballos. Conclusiones La HALS de pie es un procedimiento experimental factible para caballos de tamaño medio, que evita la escisión costal y la anestesia general, pero requiere un mayor desarrollo. |
