Key Points

  • To examine the occurrence of incidental pathologic findings in geriatric dogs undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal foreign bodies.
  • Reviewed surgical cases of geriatric dogs with gastrointestinal foreign bodies
  • Analyzed intraoperative findings for abnormal pathologies
  • Assessed implications for potential additional surgeries
  • Increased likelihood of incidental abnormal findings in dogs aged 8 and older
  • Identified need for potential additional surgical interventions in some cases
  • Suggested that surgical discussions should include risks of unexpected findings

Abstract

Preoperative discussions for geriatric dogs undergoing first-time foreign body surgery should address the increased likelihood of abnormal findings intraoperatively, potential need for additional surgical procedures, and risks of associated procedures.
