Clinical Features and Surgical Outcomes of Suture Granulomas Following Ovariohysterectomy in Two Dogs
Abstract
Granuloma formation following ovariohysterectomy (OVH) can be caused by ligatures of nonabsorbable suture material and poor
aseptic technique. To describe the clinical characterization of granulomas following OVH utilizing silk suture, two spayed bitches
were reported. The variable clinical findings, ultrasonographic diagnosis and effectiveness of surgical therapy for treatment are
discussed. Foreign body granulomas are important clinically cause of misdiagnosis tumours and stimulating new tumours. Practitioners should always consider elective OVH with ligation by nonabsorbable suture, however, often require surgical correction.
