Minigastrotomia guiada por endoscopia flexível na remoção de corpo estranho gástrico em cão

Abstract

The intake and gastric retention of foreign bodies is common episode in dogs and cats medicine. Most gastric foreign bodies can easily be removed through a gastrotomy by celiotomy, however the success rate in the removal of these by endoscopy has been widely reported. In a case of large gastric foreign body diagnosed by esofaphagogastroscopy, where adequate material to promote its extraction was not provided, it was performed a combination of both modalities (endoscopy and surgery) aiming to succeed with minimal tissue trauma and better and faster postoperatively recovery. The results proved to be satisfactory.
