Use of ultrasonography to facilitate surgical removal of non-enteric foreign bodies in 17 dogs.

摘要: Plant material foreign bodies may cause vague clinical signs at the time of initial presentation but can progress to persistent or recurrent abscessation, sinus tract formation and debilitating disease, due migration body, severe tissue reaction secondary infection. Ultrasonography is a non-invasive technique that be used identify precisely presence, location size radiolucent bodies. Early identification using ultrasonography facilitates surgical retrieval before further injury occur. This paper reviews ultrasonographic findings outcome in 17 dogs with non-enteric, radiolucent, plant
