Abstract The current study was carried out on twenty apparently healthy male mongrel dogs divided into two equal groups (open and laparoscopic). The purpose of this study is to compare two techniques for colopexy (open and laparoscopic) concerning laboratory findings (WBCs and CRP), ultrasonographic findings, laparoscopic look, pathological findings (Grossly and microscopically).Open colopexy (OC) was performed through laparotomy in linea alba while laparoscopic colopexy (LC) was performed using two port technique and transabdominal fixation of the colon. LC produced a pexy effect similar to that of OC with minimal surgical trauma and postoperative complications than OC in dogs. |
