ABSTRACT
The anal glands are paired structure in dogs which require the surgical removal in various diseased conditions . The current study was designed to compare the efficacy of open and closed method of anal sacculectomy for better outcomes in respect of post-operative complications in dogs. The study was performed on 16 adult dogs of either sex or breed with 1 to 3 years of age presented at University Outdoor Clinic which required anal sacculectomy. All the animals were categorized into two equal groups i.e. group-A and group-B. Group A underwent open anal sacculectomy and group 2 closed anal sacculectomy. To compare surgical techniques, various hemato-biochemical, physiological parameters and post-operative complications were evaluated. The data was analyzed by applying t-test using SPSS-20 version. There was a no significant difference between both groups with respect to vital signs and hematology profile. However, seroma, abscess, stricture of anal sacs, urine incontinence, wound dehiscence and fistula formation was observed more in group A of open anal sacculectomy compared to group B of closed anal sacculectomy. It was concluded that closed technique is somewhat superior in post-surgical outcomes than open sacculectomy in terms of post-operative complications.
