Peroral endoscopic full and partial-thickness myotomy. A viability study in an animal model

Abstract

Background: Peroral endoscopic myotomy has recently been developed and performed on patients with good results. Aims: To evaluate the technical feasibility of peroral endoscopic full-thickness and partial thickness myotomy in a porcine model. Material and methods: Eighteen criollo pigs were randomly assigned to 2 groups: group A (partial-thickness myotomy) and group B (full-thickness myotomy). The mucosal defect proximal to the myotomy site was left open. On the seventh postoperative day the pig was euthanized and follow-up surgical exploration was performed. The duration of each procedure, postoperative progression of the animal, complications, and anatomopathologic findings were registered. ଝ Please cite this article as: Quiroz-Guadarrama CD, Rojano-Rodríguez M, Herrera-Esquivel, JJ, et al.

Social approach based on infractions, penalties and fines for animal abuse in Latin America

“…In general, animals are considered lacking in human dignity, in this explanatory line they are understood as things, but subject to legal protection.
