            This new book on veterinary surgery focuses on the gastrointestinal
            tract and accessory organs of digestion in small animals. Its
ebook       educational approach, through the description of 30 surgical cases,
available
            provides the reader with a better understanding when it comes to
            perform surgeries in dogs and cats with gastrointestinal disorders.
            Both simple cases and more complex ones are addressed, covering
            a wide range of situations that the veterinary surgeon may be faced
            with in the practice.
            For each case, the authors include the case history, the physical
            examination, the surgical preparation and technique, as well as
            additional considerations and tips when necessary.

The gastrointestinal tract. Clinical cases

Presentation of the book
It is the intention of the authors of this book to present a series of assorted surgical cases
related to the digestive system. Surgical situations of dogs and cats with more frequent
presentation, but because of that none less challenging, will be included. Some less com-
monly presentations, with their own puzzling demands, will be also addressed.

The surgical procedures described will comprise those related to the head and neck, tho-
se related to the thoracic cavity, and those involving the abdomen.

Specialised surgeons in this field with several years in academia and private practice will
explain, in most cases step by step, how these procedures were diagnosed, and later sol-
ved with the use of surgery.

Referral cases can sometimes be demanding and a team work, gathering different spe-
cialties, will be looked for. This means that continuous training, effort and updating are a
must in order to accomplish many more successful cases. The team work includes inter-
nists and staff support as well. Without them, little chance will the patients have in several
instances.

                  Surgical technique

                  Once the affected duodenum is isolated
                  (Fig. 4), the intestinal content (chyme) is
                  gently milked away from the lumen of the
                  duodenum. This manoeuvre minimises
                  spillage of chyme during the enterotomy
                  procedure.

Abdomen / Duodenal foreign body

                                  To reduce the spillage of chyme, the intesti-
                                  nal lumen must be clamped proximally and
                                  distally before the enterotomy site is incised.
                                  The assistant surgeon will place the index
                                  and middle fingers of both hands in a scis-
                                  sor-like grip at about 4 cm from each end to
                                  achieve and carry out an atraumatic lumen
                                  occlusion (Fig. 5). Doyen intestinal forceps
                                  can also be used for the same purpose.

                                  uses the index and middle fingers of both hands to
                                  clamp the intestinal lumen cranially and caudally to
                                  the FB.

                                          Do not use the thumb and index
                                          fingers since they can apply too
                                          much pressure to the intestinal

                                          forceps are a better option for the
                                          delicate duodenal wall and the
                                          occasional lack of adequate space
                                          within the abdominal cavity.

                                                                                                117
                                  The incision is generally made in a healthy
                                  segment of the intestine (Fig. 6). Then, the FB
                                  has to be gently removed through this open-
                                  ing. The length of the incision has to be made
                                  according to the size of the FB to allow a
                                  smooth removal without unnecessary traction
                                  against the incised edges of the intestinal wall.

                                  In this case, the extent of the incision had to
                                  be enlarged. The surgeon extended it along
                                  the long axis of the intestine using Metzen-
                                  baum scissors to ensure the FB could be
                                  removed without tearing the intestinal wall
                                  (Figs. 7 and 8). A scalpel can also be used
                                  in such cases.
