Septic peritonitis in a dog was treated by exteriorizing the intestinal anastomosis. This allowed healing in an isolated environment, leading to resolution of peritonitis and successful recovery.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Surgery
- Canine Medicine
- Gastrointestinal Surgery
Background:
- Septic peritonitis is a severe complication following intestinal surgery.
- Anastomotic leakage can lead to peritonitis, posing a significant risk to patient survival.
- Current management strategies for septic peritonitis post-intestinal anastomosis can be challenging in companion animals.
