In vitro evaluation of a simulated pneumoperitoneum environment using carbon dioxide on canine transitional cell carcinoma
Conclusion/Clinical significance: A positive pressure CO2 environment significantly decreased the viability of TCC and MDCK cells under specific conditions without influencing their proliferation up to 7 days postexposure. Investigating these effects in clinical patients undergoing CO2 laparoscopy is essential to assess for port site metastasis or peritoneal carcinomatosis in order to translate these in vitro results to clinical recommendations.

Changes in D ‐dimer concentration after soft tissue and orthopedic surgery in dogs
ConclusionThe surgical procedures tested in this study are unlikely to cause a direct increase in D‐dimer concentration.
Clinical significanceAny increase in D‐dimer concentration after elective neutering, elective orthopedic, and posttraumatic orthopedic surgical procedures should be regarded as clinically important and trigger investigations to detect a hemostatic derangement. (Source: Veterinary Surgery)

Effects of hyaluronate ‐carboxymethylcellulose membranes on the clinical outcome of horses undergoing emergency exploratory celiotomy
ConclusionApplication of HA‐CMC membranes to anastomoses or intestinal incisions did not influence postoperative complications or survival after emergency celiotomy compared with controls.
Clinical significanceThe safety and efficacy of HA‐CMC membrane application to intestinal sites during colic surgery in horses is equivocal. (Source: Veterinary Surgery)

Duty hours restriction for our surgical trainees: an ethical obligation or a bad idea?
Abstract
To ensure patient safety and protect the well‐being of interns and residents, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) issued guidelines in 2003 limiting the working hours of physician trainees. Although many supported the goals of the ACGME, institutions struggled to restructure their programs and hire staff required by this unfunded mandate. Numerous studies have analyzed the effects of duty hours restrictions on patient outcomes and physician training over the past 15 years. Most agree that duty hours restrictions improved well‐being of house officers, but these improvements came at ...

Application of tendon plating to manage failed calcaneal tendon repairs in a dog
ConclusionAdjunct plating of previously failed calcaneal tendon repairs in a dog resulted in an excellent long‐term outcome.
Clinical SignificancePlating tendons can be considered as an additional method that may improve tendon apposition and decrease gap formation. (Source: Veterinary Surgery)

Nasopharyngeal sialoceles in 11 brachycephalic dogs
Conclusions and Clinical SignificanceNPS may be an uncommon consequence of chronic nonphysiologic mechanical stress causing changes in minor nasopharyngeal salivary glands. Direct visualization by nasopharyngoscopy is the best technique for detection of NPS, and we advise routine examination of the nasopharynx by endoscope in all brachycephalic dogs before performing surgery. Either endoscopic guided biopsy forceps or diode laser surgery can be used for noninvasive, rapid, and effective resolution of NPS in all of the dogs. (Source: Veterinary Surgery)
