Gastrointestinal Foreign Bodies: Surgical and Endoscopic Management
Presented by DoveLewis Surgeon Ashley Magee, DVM, DACVS
June 18th at 7:30pm PST
Foreign body ingestion is the most common reason for performing emergency surgery or endoscopy here at DoveLewis, with hundreds of cases treated either surgically or endoscopically each year. Early, accurate diagnosis and definitive treatment can make the prognosis for these patients excellent for a full recovery.
In this lecture, we will briefly discuss the history and clinical signs exhibited by a patient with a foreign body, the diagnostic tests that are most useful to run, and how the results can help you differentiate a surgical from non-surgical abdomen. We’ll then concentrate on treatment methods, both with surgery and endoscopic removal, as well as post-operative care. We will review several cases treated here at DoveLewis to illustrate several key points in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with foreign bodies.
