Abstract

Two dogs presented to our facility were each diagnosed with a thoracic mass. Radiography and computed tomography revealed isolated primary lung tumors. Partial lung lobectomy was applied in Case 1 and total lung lobectomy in Case 2, using a thoracoabdominal stapler. No complications were observed after surgery in either dog. The outcome of these cases indicates that use of a thoracoabdominal stapler in partial and total lung lobectomy may be recommended for small-breed dogs.
