Postoperative complications are more common after intracranial surgery in companion animals. Preventative measures include careful planning, anesthesia, and postoperative care to improve outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Companion Animal Medicine
Background:
- Intracranial surgery in companion animals carries risks.
- Common complications include brain swelling, hemorrhage, seizures, and neurological decline.
Purpose of the Study:
- To summarize common complications of intracranial surgery in companion animals.
- To outline preventative strategies for these complications.
Main Methods:
- Review of common intraoperative and postoperative complications.
- Identification of preventative measures and management strategies.
Main Results:
- Postoperative complications are more frequent than intraoperative ones.
- Key complications include brain swelling, hemorrhage, seizures, aspiration pneumonia, and anesthetic death.
Conclusions:
- Careful surgical planning is crucial.
- Cerebro-protective anesthesia and effective postoperative management are essential.
- Early return to function and nutrition aid recovery.
