Long-term follow-up information was available for all 39 dogs; mean follow-up time was 29.6 months (range, 3 to 61 months). Seven (18%) dogs developed postoperative pneumonia, and 6 of the 7 recovered with treatment. Twenty-two of the 39 (56%) dogs had minor complications, including unresolved coughing or gagging, continued exercise intolerance, vomiting, and seroma formation. Owners of 35 of the 39 (90%) dogs reported an improvement in postoperative quality-oflife score. Median survival time was 12 months; only 1 dog was euthanized because of respiratory tract disease following surgery.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results suggest that UAL will improve quality of life in most dogs with idiopathic laryngeal paralysis. However, the complication rate is high, with postoperative pneumonia being the most important major complication. Minor complications were common but did not adversely affect owner-assigned quality-of-life scores in most dogs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.228.8.1215","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,17]],"date-time":"2006-04-17T14:05:12Z","timestamp":1145282712000},"page":"1215-1220","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":56,"title":["Postoperative
