“…Besides, the glottic index was adopted as it represents a constant ratio between two actual measurements; if the glottic area is used instead, differences in pixel measurement may arise from different distances between the operator and glottis. As an alternative, a dedicated ruler adjacent to the laryngeal opening would have been valuable in providing a scale [40,41]. In the present study, statistical evaluation of the measurements taken by two different operators demonstrated that results were repeatable.…”

Background: Forty dogs presented for brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome with laryngeal collapse not over 1st degree (saccule eversion) underwent glottis endoscopic and radiographic skull measurements before surgery. Fifteen Pugs, fifteen French and ten English Bulldogs were included. The goals were prospectively to compare three common brachycephalic breeds for anatomical differences regarding glottis and skull measurements, and to assess if any correlation between glottis and skull measurements was present. Linear measurements were used to obtain glottis and skull indices. Correlations between glottis and skull indices and glottic measurements were evaluated. Finally, glottis indices were compared among the three breeds. Results: No correlation was found for glottis and skull indices. The glottic index differed among the three breeds (smaller in Pugs and higher in English Bulldogs), ultimately representing a morphologic indicator of the different larynx shape in the three breeds (more rounded in English Bulldogs, more elliptical in Pugs and in-between in French Bulldogs). Conclusions: The lack of correlation between skull/glottic indices does not support skull morphology as predictor of glottic morphology. As Pugs had the lowest glottic index, it may be speculated that Pugs' original narrow glottic width may predispose to further progressive respiratory deterioration more easily than in the other two breeds.

“…polypropylene) on a tapercut needle is recommended for fixing the arytenoid. Depending on the size of the dog, USP 2/0 (< 40 kg) or USP 0 (> 40 kg) is used (Demetriou & Kirby 2003). The suture is anchored dorsally on the caudal border of the cricoid cartilage, taking care not to penetrate the laryngeal lumen.…”

“…It should be kept in mind that dogs carry a lifelong risk for the development of respiratory tract complications postoperatively (MacPhail & Monnet 2001). Aspiration pneumonia is the most frequently noted complication, occurring in about 8% -24% of dogs postoperatively (Demetriou & Kirby 2003;Hammel et al 2006;MacPhail & Monnet 2001;Snelling & Edwards 2003;White 1989). Low-tension techniques are believed to decrease the incidence of postoperative aspiration pneumonia (Bureau & Monnet 2002).…”

Laryngeal paralysis is the effect of an inability to abduct the arytenoid cartilages during inspiration, resulting in respiratory signs consistent with partial airway obstruction. The aetiology of the disease can be congenital (hereditary laryngeal paralysis or congenital polyneuropathy), or acquired (trauma, neoplasia, polyneuropathy, endocrinopathy). The most common form of acquired laryngeal paralysis (LP) is typically seen in old, large breed dogs and is a clinical manifestation of a generalised peripheral polyneuropathy recently referred to as geriatric onset laryngeal paralysis polyneuropathy. Diagnosing LP based on clinical signs, breed and history has a very high sensitivity (90%) and can be confirmed bylaryngeal inspection. Prognosis after surgical correction depends on the aetiology: traumatic cases have a good prognosis, whereas tumour-induced or polyneuropathy-induced LP has a guarded prognosis. Acquired idiopathic LP is a slow progressive disease, with dogs reaching median survival times of 3-5 years after surgical correction.
