The objective of this retrospective study was to report any complications associated with incorporating a gastrotomy incision into a right-sided incisional prophylactic gastropexy. The medical records of dogs that underwent a gastrotomy for the removal of gastric foreign material and had a prophylactic right-sided incisional gastropexy performed at the gastrotomy site between April 2011 and February 2013 were reviewed. Two wk postoperative recheck examination and suture removal reports were reviewed and owners were contacted via phone and e-mail for long-term follow-up. In total, 21 cases were reviewed, 19 with long-term follow-up. No complications of the surgery were reported. We concluded that a prophylactic right-sided incisional gastropexy could successfully be performed incorporating the gastrotomy site without significant complications.
