    Abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe a laparoscopic approach for performing intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) and bile duct flushing (BDF) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in dogs. To investigate the clinical outcomes of dogs undergoing these procedures for the treatment of benign gallbladder disease, ie gallbladder mucocele (GM) or cholecystitis. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective study. ANIMALS: Forty‐seven client‐owned dogs. METHODS: Medical records of client‐owned dogs with benign gallbladder diseases that underwent IOC and BDF during LC between September 2016 and December 2019 were reviewed. Of these dogs, only dogs with GM or cholecystitis were included in the study. The fundus dissection first method was used for LC. Intraoperative cholangiography and BDF procedures were performed laparoscopically using a catheter inserted into the cystic duct following dissection within the subserosal layer of the gallbladder. Videos recorded during each procedure were reviewed, and data on procedure duration, completion, outcome, and technical approach were recorded. RESULTS: Forty‐seven dogs were included in the study. The median procedure time for BDF and IOC was 4 min (range, 2‐48 min), and no intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred. CONCLUSION: During LC, BDF and IOC were performed safely and successfully. Intraoperative cholangiography identified obstructions and strictures in the common bile duct that were not detected using BDF alone. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings suggest that BDF and IOC are both safe and time effective and should be considered for routine use by surgeons during LC.

    Abstract Surgical treatment has improved the prognosis of canine idiopathic chylothorax, although a recurrence of the disease occurs occasionally after the procedure. An improved understanding of possible causes for this recurrence would be helpful for prognosis and treatment planning in affected patients. In this retrospective case series study, we described the detailed pre‐ and postoperative computed tomographic lymphography (CTLG) imaging characteristics for a group of dogs with surgically confirmed idiopathic chylothorax. Preoperative CTLG was performed in 12 of 14 dogs diagnosed with idiopathic chylothorax. Thoracic ducts were present on the right side in 10 dogs, left side in one dog, and bilaterally in one dog. All the 14 dogs received a combination therapy of pericardiectomy and thoracic duct ligation (TDL) by video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery. One week after surgery, a postoperative CTLG was performed, and the thoracic ducts were apparent in seven of 14 dogs. Three dogs had an unchanged course of the thoracic duct, which could have resulted from a missed duct. Four dogs were identified as having a bypass formation: the oblique duct originated at the ligation site and connected to the duct on the other side. Our findings indicated that one of the possible causes for postoperative recurrence of chylothorax in dogs could be “invisible or sleeping” fine ducts that are collapsed and not visible in preoperative CTLG scans. After TDL causes a change in the pressure of lymphatic flow, these fine thoracic ducts may become apparent using postoperative CTLG.

    Abstract Objective: To compare the outcomes of pericardiectomy performed with conventional clipping thoracic duct ligation (C-TDL) to those with en bloc thoracic duct ligation (EB-TDL) using video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for canine idiopathic chylothorax.
    Study design: Retrospective consecutive case series.
    Animals: Thirteen client-owned dogs with idiopathic chylothorax.
    Methods: Medical records of dogs treated with pericardiectomy in combination with TDL by VATS without intraoperative contrast were reviewed. Five and seven dogs underwent C-TDL and EB-TDL, respectively, and 11 dogs were evaluated by preoperative and 7- to 10-days-postoperative computed tomography-lymphography (CTLG). No clinical symptoms with absent or minimal pleural effusion was defined as clinical improvement. Long-term remission (LTR) was defined as rapid resolution of pleural effusion and no recurrence for more than 1 year. Anesthesia time, operation time, the duration of hospitalization, and time until pleural effusion resolution were compared.
    Results: Clinical improvement was achieved in 91.7% of the cases (C-TDL, 4/5; EB-TDL, 7/7), excluding one case of intraoperative death. The LTR rate was significantly higher with EB-TDL (6/7 [85.7%]) than with C-TDL (1/5 [20%]). Anesthesia time, operation time, and time until pleural effusion resolution were significantly better with EB-TDL than with C-TDL. The rates of thoracic ducts visualization by postoperative CTLG were 100% (5/5) with C-TDL and 42.9% (3/7) with EB-TDL.
    Conclusion: En bloc TDL was an effective treatment for canine idiopathic chylothorax in this patient population. It compared favorably to C-TDL, although missed branches at the time of surgery may explain the difference between C-TDL and EB-TDL in this small population of cases.
    Clinical significance: En bloc TDL by VATS was an effective minimally invasive treatment for canine idiopathic chylothorax. Computed tomography-lymphography can be used for surgical planning and postoperative evaluation.

    Abstract Rat carboxylesterase 2 (rCES2), which was previously identified as a methylprednisolone 21-hemisuccinate hydrolase, is highly inducible by dexamethasone in the liver. In the present study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which this induction occurs. Injection of dexamethasone (1 mg/kg weight) into rats resulted in increases in the expression of rCES2 mRNA in a time-dependent manner with a peak at 12 h after injection. In primary rat hepatocytes, the expression level of rCES2 mRNA was increased by treatment with 100 nM dexamethasone, and the increase was completely blocked in the presence of 10 µM mifepristone (RU-486), a potent inhibitor of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), or 10 µg/mL cycloheximide, a translation inhibitor. Luciferase assays revealed that 100 nM dexamethasone increased rCES2 promoter activities, although the effect of dexamethasone on the promoter activity was smaller than that on rCES2 mRNA expression. The increased activities were completely inhibited by treatment of the hepatocytes with 10 µM RU-486. Based on these results, it is concluded that dexamethasone enhances transcription of the rCES2 gene via GR in the rat liver and that the dexamethasone-mediated induction of rCES2 mRNA may be dependent on de novo protein synthesis. Our results provide clues to understanding what compounds induce rCES2.
