Minimally invasive repair of congenital inguinal hernias in nine foals using an automated laparoscopic suturing device and barbed suture [PDF]
Summary Background Laparoscopic herniorrhaphy using staples or smooth suture has been shown to be safe and effective for the surgical treatment of congenital inguinal hernia in colts and gives the possibility to spare the testicles. An automated laparoscopic suturing device combined with barbed suture reduces the technical challenges of laparoscopic ...

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Warmed Versus Room Temperature Intravenous Fluids Administration to Prevent Intraoperative Heat Loss in Anaesthetised Calves Undergoing Umbilical Herniorrhaphy. [PDF]
Hypothermia is one of the major complications of surgery. Warmed fluids are often used in humans to prevent hypothermia. However, their efficacy in preventing hypothermia in dogs and cats is a topic of controversy. Using warmed fluids in calves does not effectively prevent hypothermia.

Safety of Intrathecal Clonidine as an Adjuvant to Spinal Anesthesia in Infants and Children. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Preliminary clinical studies have demonstrated that clonidine is an effective adjuvant to spinal anesthesia in neonates and infants. However, the studies conducted previously have had a limited cohort size of 80–100, potentially limiting an accurate measure of its safety.

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair could represent an attractive alternative to conventional inguinal herniorrhaphy if it can be shown to result in less perioperative morbidity (primarily postoperative pain) or a decreased long-term recurrence rate. The data addressing either of these concerns will be forthcoming in ensuing years.

“Scarless” Inguinal Herniorrhaphy [PDF]
Laparoscopic inguinal herniorrhaphy is widely accepted. Robotic-assisted surgery provides improved 3-dimensional visualization and enhanced dexterity. The purpose of this case series was to demonstrate the feasibility of a modified, robotic, single-site, unilateral inguinal herniorrhaphy.Six patients 18 years of age or older with a body mass index
