Comparison of bacteria cultured during a total ear canal ablation and subsequent incisional dehiscence in 12 dogs.

Objective: To compare bacteria cultured at the time of total ear canal ablation (TECA) to bacteria cultured from post-TECA incisional dehiscence.

Study Design: Multicenter retrospective case series.

Animal Population: Dogs (n = 12) with incisional dehiscence following TECA.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between physical attributes and difficulty performing laparoscopic maneuvers with the prevalence of self-reported musculoskeletal injury.

Study Design: Online survey.

Sample Population: Surgeons (n = 140) with 3 or more years of laparoscopic experience.
