METHOD OF TREATING PERITONEOPERICARDIAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA IN DOGS Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A61B17/94 A61B17/34 A61B17/00 A61F2/00 A61D99/00 

FIELD: veterinary science.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to veterinary science, namely to surgery, and can be used for treating peritoneopericardial diaphragm hernia in dogs weighing up to 10 kg. After the trocars are inserted, the abdominal and thoracic cavities are examined and a hernia defect is detected. Hernial contents and sac are brought down into the abdominal cavity. Mesh implant is cut out from a polypropylene mesh, the size of which is greater than the transverse dimensions of the hernia defect. Hernia defect is closed with a mesh implant along the perimeter, fixing it to the diaphragm and abdominal wall. After fixation, peritonisation of the mesh implant is performed with crescent ligament fat or greater omentum.

EFFECT: method enables to eliminate the peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia with minimal trauma by closing the hernia defect, eliminating the excessive tissue-damaging tension of the hernia defect edges and diaphragm injuries, which in turn reduces the risk of recurrences and complications and reduces the recovery period after treatment.
