Third Thursday Rounds - June, 2020

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.

Memorial Art Workshop

One of the best ways to navigate your grief when you lose a pet is by memorializing them through art. Research shows that art and healing come from the same source. In fact, it is now known that when a person is creating art or is healing, this person will emit the same brain wave patterns. Art and healing are so powerful that hospitals are incorporating art into patient care.
