Case report shows successful laparoscopic resection of a hepatic mass in a dog, suggesting viability for medium to large breeds.
This case report details the successful laparoscopic resection of a large left lateral hepatic mass in a 28 kg dog, with specimen retrieval through a 1 cm cutaneous incision. Clinical signs and serum biochemical abnormalities resolved postoperatively, and the dog remained asymptomatic at 6‐month follow‐up. This report suggests that strict laparoscopic liver lobectomy is a feasible approach for the elective resection of left‐sided hepatic masses in medium to large‐breed dogs.
