67%

What % of complications were attributable to diaphragmotomy?
25% of complications - septic pleural effusion, hypoxia and haemothorax

What breed was most common?
What was the outcome?
Border terrier
No difference between groups. No short-term clinical or clinico-pathological benefits were identified when flushing the CBD in dogs undergoing cholecystectomy for GBM.
Piegols VS 2021 - Association between biliary tree manipulation and outcome in dogs undergoing cholecystectomy for gallbladder mucocele: A multi-institutional retrospective study
What was CBD catheterisation associated with?
Post-op pancreatitis (regardless if normo or retrograde)
While catheterization of the CBD should still be pursued in light of specific concerns such as lack of integrity or patency of the CBD, routine catheterization in dogs undergoing a cholecystectomy for GBM should be questioned because of possible morbidity.

Retrograde catheterisation (via duodenotomy) increased postop complication risk.
No difference in survival.

What was the mortality rate? What factors were associated with mortality?
How did intra-op hypotension affect mortality?
17% - ASA grade, post-op ileus and pancreatitis
