Thirty\u2010six major postoperative complications were documented in 22 dogs after 36 of 74 (48.7%) procedures. Postoperative complications occurred after 7 of 12 (58.3%) nonincisional epiglottopexy, 23 of 43 (53.5%) incisional epiglottopexy, 2 of 4 (50%) partial epiglottectomy, 2 of 12 (16.7%) subtotal epiglottectomy, and 2 of 3 (66.7%) other surgical procedures. Epiglottopexy failure was the most common major postoperative complication. The incidence of major postoperative complications did not differ between procedures (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .1239), although, when combined, epiglottopexy procedures (30\/55) had a higher incidence of complications than epiglottectomy procedures (4\/16; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .048). Thirty (60%) dogs were alive at a median of 928 days (range, 114\u20102805), 8 (16%) were lost to follow\u2010up after 411 days (range, 43\u20101158), and 12 (24%) were dead\/euthanized after 301.5 days (range, 3\u20101212).
