Risk Factors for Dehiscence of Stapled Functional End‐to‐End Intestinal Anastomoses in Dogs: 53 Cases (2001–2012)

Abstract

IBD, location of anastomosis, and intraoperative hypotension are risk factors for intestinal anastomotic dehiscence after SFEEA in dogs. Previously suggested risk factors (low serum albumin concentration, preoperative septic peritonitis, and intestinal foreign body) were not confirmed in this study.
