Nine dogs had multiple surgical sites closed with unidirectional barbed sutures. None of the cases in the study developed leakage, dehiscence, or septic peritonitis during the 14\u2010day short\u2010term follow up. Long\u2010term follow up information was collected for 19 patients. The median long\u2010term follow\u2010up time was 1076\u2009days (range: 20\u20132179\u2009days).
