Laparoscopy and Endoscopy Cooperative Surgery (LECS) for Preventive Gastropexy in Dogs: Experimental Study

Laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) is a newly developed concept for tumor dissection of the gastrointestinal tract in human medicine. However, LECS is not common in veterinary medicine. In this study, we performed LECS gastropexy for two healthy adult Beagles.LECS gastropexy is sim...

Summary:Laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS) is a newly developed concept for tumor dissection of the gastrointestinal tract in human medicine. However, LECS is not common in veterinary medicine. In this study, we performed LECS gastropexy for two healthy adult Beagles.LECS gastropexy is simpler and easier than other gastropexy techniques. Moreover, perioperative complications were not observed in any of the dogs treated in this study. LECS gastropexy was supposed to be safe, minimally invasive, and highly useful technique for preventive gastopexy. Since this study used experimental models, its usefulness should be evaluated in future cases.
