Trick with adrenaline is realy nice! Thank you for this. Can u use it, when i have a splenomegaly after gastric volume dilatation? Or it's dangerous? Why it dangerous? Thank you for answer!
Can you tell my the cost to the patient for this type of surgery? My american pitbull was just diagnosed with an intrusive lipoma which began on her glute , moved through the thigh and now seems to be moving lower on her leg. I was told that surgery isn't an option because of how the lipoma has invaded the entire leg. Do you agree with this diagnosis/prognosis, or should I get a second opinion? Also, on the same side, she has 6 little bumps resembling marbles all around her angle which the vet has been telling me for years is joint fluid leaking out. I'm so frustrated they keep telling me to leave it alone because surgery is risky (infection, potential amputation). They tell me she doesn't have cancer but haven't even done a radiograph. I live in central Maine and don't have many options for vet care. I feel stuck! :(
I have several questions about your technique. First of all if this is adenocarcinoma of anal sacs then you just removed the mass and not any tissue around ( 3cm of healthy tissue ). Why’s that?
Our dog recently had a terrible reaction to vaccines...that evening wobbly, hind leg paralysis, shaking...it took a few days to bounce back. The day after vaccines we found a cyst like lump that had popped up very fast...we know it was not there prior to vaccine day...on the upper ankle...not a vaccine site. After removal path came back sarcoma. I am wondering if it is a vaccine related sarcoma due to the issues all surrounding vaccine day
My dog is a Morkie, 20 months old, 4.8lb. He will be going to University of Veterinary in Prince Edward Island in Canada. If diagnos with this liver shunt they will be doing surgery. I hope thing will go well. What is the % of succes with this surgery? He he going to be a normal dog after this surgery? Will he be on speciel diet? What medication if any after surgery. Sirry I'm a bit worry and have a lot of ?.
That trick with the adrenaline injected into the splenic artery was very cool. Nice to see that nasty bleeding eventually stop. My question is if making a small incision in the diaphragm and thus creating pneumothorax or even more adding a median sternotomy, would have help moving liver caudally and giving better exposure of the mass, thus helping not applying excessive traction on the mass and eventually avoiding bleeding? TIA and thanks for uploading.
Thank you so much for the video. I work at a non-profit clinic and learning this technique will be invaluable to so many patients, especially clients that can't afford full service veterinary care. Just completed my first FHO thanks to this video. Thank you for sharing your expertise; it was a great help!
Thank you Dr Charles for sharing your knowledge and skills, I am also a Vet practitioner in my country Philippines, I am watching in my laptop during my breaks
I wish the doc had used a flap with my Allie because she kept popping stitches. She was 1.5 years old, Labrador retriever. Now, at 7 years old, I think she has a small one the doc needs to look at. It’s too small to test right now. What a terrible recovery for them! 10:33
I am a veterinary surgeon who has had my own practice for approximately 11 years. Thank you for the great content. YOU OWE US NOTHING AND WE CAN DEMAND NOTHING. However I watch your videos to learn and the surgeon's voice was muffled by surrounding sounds+ the view was obstructed during crucial parts of the surgery.Fixing those points will help us enjoy and learn from it more. It is intended as an educational video after all. Thanks again and GOD bless.
My cat has the option of this surgery or palliative care. May I ask whether you know what happened to this cat (or perhaps if you know of others that have undergone a similar procedure) and what the healing journey looks like please?
The surgery was performed by an excellent surgeon who has done many of these before, there were no long-term lasting effects, and it was something we should have done years ago, instead of trying to get it fixed with medication’s and ointments, shame on us
You seriously need to freaking stop using your middle finger use all of your fingers not your middle finger it gets really really annoying and it's offensive
You don't need to be using your middle finger for everything use all of your fingers if you're going to keep on using your middle finger I don't want to come and watch your videos I don't like it that people use their middle finger for everything they need to use all of their fingers not their middle one.
thank you so much for the videos, in cases where i cant access sonography but all the signs and chemical tests lead to PSS. how do i different a shunt from a normal vessel during exploratorg
My Bulldog is having the surgery performed tomorrow morning. I am praying that everything goes well, with no complications or negative after effects. Thank you for posting this video, it is helpful to see what he will be going through. Do you have an update on how this Bulldog is faring after his surgery? Thank you!
Hi there. Can you please share more about what happened at 12:18? The patient seemed to lose a lot of blood after something was accidentally damaged, which I know is a risk of this surgery. Did this cause any major complications for the dog post-surgery? Thank you.
