The kitten underwent thoracoscopic guided surgical correction of PE using a small gauge needle\u2010scope to aid in visualization. Surgical treatment of this kitten included the use of a small gauge needle\u2010scope for video\u2010assisted thoracoscopy which provided direct visualization for passage of sutures into the thoracic cavity and around sternebrae which were then secured to an external splinting device.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The patient recovered uneventfully with clinical improvements at both 2\u2010 and 6\u2010weeks postoperatively. Five month postoperative follow\u2010up with the owner revealed no evidence of respiratory signs.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The use of a small gauge needle\u2010scope provided excellent visualization for safe suture passage for external splinting in a pediatric feline patient with severe PE.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical significance<\/jats:title>\n For small pediatric felines, a small gauge needle\u2010scope can be used for thoracoscopic visualization of suture passage for external splinting for PE. Direct visualization of suture placement may minimize the risk of intraoperative complications in animals with moderate to severe PE with limited working space.<\/jats:p>\n
