One rabbit had been treated with nasolacrimal duct lavage and topical and systemic antimicrobial administration without resolution of clinical signs. Results of CT of the head in both cases indicated severe rhinosinusitis.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>TREATMENT AND OUTCOME<\/jats:bold> Both rabbits underwent unilateral rhinostomy by means of a lateral approach. Access was established via the facies cribrosa of the maxillary bone. Purulent material was removed from the affected nasal cavity and the maxillary sinus by means of debridement and lavage. After endoscopic exploration, marsupialization was performed to create a stoma. Both rabbits recovered from surgery without apparent complications, and the surgical site healed within 1 month in both. Computed tomography was repeated 5 months after surgery in one rabbit and 13 months after surgery in the other and indicated patent nasal passages and no evidence of recurrence or persistence of disease.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Results suggested that lateral rhinostomy should be considered for treatment of chronic severe rhinosinusitis in rabbits. Such an approach may be less technically demanding and could decrease the likelihood of postsurgical complications reported with other techniques.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.252.1.103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T21:17:40Z","timestamp":1513372660000},"page":"103-107","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Lateral rhinostomy for treatment of severe chronic rhinosinusitis in two rabbits"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"252","author":[{"given":"Louden","family":"Wright","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christoph","family":"Mans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Ferrets, rabbits, and rodents: clinical medicine and surgery","first-page":"172","article-title":"Respiratory disease and pasteurellosis","author":"Deeb","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"J Vet Med Sci","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1659","DOI":"10.1292\/jvms.14-0008","article-title":"Surgical and localized radiation therapy for an intranasal adenocarcinoma in a rabbit","volume":"76","author":"Nakata","year":"2014"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Ferrets, rabbits, and rodents: clinical medicine and surgery","first-page":"212","article-title":"Respiratory disease and pasteurellosis","author":"Lennox","year":"2012"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Clinical laboratory animal medicine: an introduction","first-page":"198","article-title":"Rabbits","author":"Hrapkiewicz","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Microbiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetmic.2006.02.003","article-title":"Epidemiology and susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria responsible for upper respiratory tract infections in pet rabbits","volume":"115","author":"Rougier","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Clin Microbiol","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"70","DOI":"10.1128\/jcm.28.1.70-75.1990","article-title":"Pasteurella multocida and Bordetella bronchiseptica infections in rabbits","volume":"28","author":"Deeb","year":"1990"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"257","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2011.03.002","article-title":"Rabbit respiratory system: clinical anatomy, physiology and disease","volume":"14","author":"Johnson-Delaney","year":"2011"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"519","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cvex.2009.06.004","article-title":"Kelleher S.
