    A novel surgical procedure enables major thoracic surgery, including thymectomy, in rabbits using endotracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation anesthesia. This technique allows for thymus ablation while keeping the thoracic wall intact.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Surgery
    • Anesthesiology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Performing major thoracic surgery in rabbits presents significant challenges.
    • Existing anesthetic and surgical techniques may not be optimal for delicate procedures like thymectomy in this species.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a reliable procedure for endotracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation anesthesia in rabbits.
    • To establish a method for performing major thoracic surgery, specifically thymectomy, in young and adult rabbits.
    • To detail a thymus ablation technique that preserves the integrity of the thoracic wall.

    Main Methods:

    • Endotracheal intubation followed by positive pressure ventilation anesthesia was established.
    • A specific animal positioning technique was developed to facilitate thymectomy.

  • A minimally invasive thymus ablation technique was performed, leaving the thoracic wall intact.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed procedure allows for successful major thoracic surgery, including thymectomy, in rabbits.
    • The described positioning and surgical techniques are effective for thymus ablation.
    • The thoracic wall remained intact throughout the procedure, indicating a minimally invasive approach.

    Conclusions:

    • A practical and effective procedure for endotracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation anesthesia in rabbits is presented.
    • This technique facilitates safe and successful major thoracic surgery, such as thymectomy, in rabbits.
    • The described thymus ablation method offers a minimally invasive approach for thoracic surgery in rabbits.
