Several indications for performing a celiotomy do exist. On the one hand, many female animals undergo celiotomy during the process of spaying; on the other hand, intestinal foreign bodies are quite common.
In the majority of cases, abdominal organs are approached through a ventral midline celiotomy. Midline incision through the linea alba allows inspection of all abdominal organs and avoids trauma to the abdominal muscles by incising only fascia.
In the current video a step-by-step approach is used to document correct opening and closing of the abdominal cavity in the dog. Several complications that are frequently noticed after celiotomy can be avoided by a good surgical technique, the appropriate type and size of suture material, and knowledge of the anatomy of the abdominal wall. Furthermore, there will be a focus on how to perform a complete exploration of the abdomen. Special attention is paid to surgically important details relating to the gastro-intestinal and urinary tracts
