Interventional Radiology at AURA Veterinary... * Images in black and white as they were flagged as sensitive by LinkedIn Last week myself and our ECVIM Resident Oriane Vigouroux performed cystoscopic laser ablation (CLA) in a young dog with a right sided ectopic ureter and vaginal remnant. The entire procedure was <1hr long and the patient was discharged within 24h. CLA has a similar outcome as traditional surgery without the need for an open abdominal approach and the associate post operative recovery time and exercise restrictions. Image 1: Cystoscopic image showed the large vaginal septum (purple arrows) below the urethral papilla (white arrow) Image 2: The ectopic ureter opening (yellow arrow) opening below the bladder opening (green arrow) Image 2: The post CLA images of the vaginal remnant. We always laser resect this at the same time as correcting the ectopic ureter as it is felt likely to contribute to the incontinence and risk of urinary tract infections. AURA Veterinary

Recent work (Dr Chiti and others, ACVS 2024) shows targeted lymph node removal following identification via Near Infra Red Fluorescence (NIRF) reduces both surgery time and length of surgical incision. The sentinel popliteal node in this dog with a mast cell tumour is swiftly removed. The draining lymphatics from the foot are still visible in the fat of the wound bed. #AURAVeterinary #NIRF #veterinaryoncology #animalcancer #surgicaloncology #arthrexvetsystems

Prof Nick Bacon and Dr Jasmine Moser (former AURA intern, now resident at University of Zurich) this week presented at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons - ACVS Surgery Summit in Phoenix. Nick presented on management of tumours affecting the digits and feet, and Jasmine presented her work on mandibular surgery in cats, a research project supervised by AURA surgeon Dr Laurent Findji. #AURAVeterinary #veterinaryoncology

Welcome to the team Ellie-May!

Thank you for everything Poppy Bristow ! We loved having you!

At AURA we are delighted to share the positives Near Infra Red Fluorescence (NIRF) brings to cutting-edge soft tissue and surgical oncology procedures, as our patients benefit from this technology free of charge in partnership with Arthrex Vet Systems UK. Recently our surgeons Nick Bacon, Laurent Findji and Jonathan Bray welcomed guests and visiting surgeons from Belgium; Drs Sanne Thijs from Dierenkliniek Orion, Drs David Haelterman and Robin Vaes from DAP AKUUT, organised by Mike Bellinger (Arthrex Vet Systems UK) and Karolien Ramaekers (Arthrex Belgium). Patients in the visit included melanoma in the cheek, a mast cell tumour on the extremity, and squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue. #AURAVeterinary #NIRF #veterinaryoncology #animalcancer #innovationinhealthcare

Peripheral Nodal B Cell Lymphoma (PNBCL) can be treated with a variety of chemotherapy protocols. CHOP (C=Cyclophosphamide, H=Hydroxydaunorubicin[Doxorubicin], O=Oncovin, P=Prednisolone) is a common choice and can be given over 25 weeks or condensed into 19 weeks. This study compared the outcome of a large number of dogs with lymphoma, to help define a preferred 1st line treatment. 504 dogs and 16 centres later, the results are just out in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, showing CHOP-19 is a suitable alternative to CHOP-25. AURA's contribution included Medical Oncologist Dr Quentin Fournier plus previous intern Dr Sébastien Bottin; Read more about the Oncology Service at https://lnkd.in/evKGJVeg
