On completion of the procedure, the dogs were euthanized and exploratory laparotomies were performed to evaluate the surgical site. Data recorded included anatomic location of the gastropexy, gastropexy length, and duration of procedure as well as any complications.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014Mean \u00b1 SD gastropexy length was 3.3 \u00b1 0.25 cm, and mean duration of surgery was 18 \u00b1 7 minutes. In each dog, the stomach was located in its normal anatomic position and all gastropexies were sutured to the abdominal wall at the level of the pyloric antrum. The only complications during the procedure were needle bending and breakage at the time of stay suture placement.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014On the basis of these findings, it appears that endoscopically assisted gastropexy is a simple, fast, safe, and reliable method of performing a prophylactic gastropexy in dogs when undertaken by a person who is skilled in endoscopy. Such a procedure maximizes the benefits of decreased morbidity and shorter duration of anesthesia associated with minimally invasive surgery. Further clinical studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term efficacy of this procedure in dogs at risk for development of gastric dilatation-volvulus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.69.4.537","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,1]],"date-time":"2008-04-01T14:59:31Z","timestamp":1207061971000},"page":"537-541","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Evaluation of an endoscopically assisted gastropexy technique in dogs"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Mauricio","family":"Dujowich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.
