Airsacculotomy
Indications
Emergency treatment for tracheal obstruction
Compare with tracheotomy in mammals
Surgery of the coelomic cavity Airsac perfusion anesthesia
To facilitate tracheal surgery / endoscopy
To provide a sufficiently large working space when
performing surgery of the head / eye

Proventriculotomy Proventriculotomy
Proventriculotomy Salpingohysterectomy
Indication
Persistent egg laying
Approach
Left lateral celiotomy
Anatomical consideration
The oviduct and uterus are located ventral
to the caudal vena cava
Risky surgery
The body wall is closed with a continuous suture
The skin is then also closed with a continuous suture
