There is limited veterinary literature about dogs or cats with ileocolic junction resection and its long-term follow-up. To evaluate the long-term outcome in a cohort of dogs and cats that underwent resection of the ileocolic junction without extensive (≥50%) small or large bowel resection. Medical records of dogs and cats that had the ileocolic junction resected were reviewed. Follow-up information was obtained either by telephone interview or e-mail correspondence with the referring veterinary surgeons. Nine dogs and nine cats were included. The most common cause of ileocolic junction resection was intussusception in dogs (5/9) and neoplasia in cats (6/9). Two dogs with ileocolic junction lymphoma died postoperatively. Only 2 of 15 animals, for which long-term follow-up information was available, had soft stools. However, three dogs with suspected chronic enteropathy required long-term treatment with hypoallergenic diets alone or in combination with medical treatment to avoid the development of diarrhoea. Four of 6 cats with ileocolic junction neoplasia were euthanised as a consequence of progressive disease. Dogs and cats undergoing ileocolic junction resection and surviving the perioperative period may have a good long-term outcome with mild or absent clinical signs but long-term medical management may be required.

关于狗或猫行回盲关节切除术及其长期随访的兽医文献很少。为了评估接受回盲连接切除而未进行大范围或大或小肠切除的犬和猫的长期预后。审查了回盲结切除的猫和狗的病历。跟踪信息是通过电话采访或与推荐兽医联系的电子邮件获得的。其中包括九只狗和九只猫。回肠胆总管切除最常见的原因是狗的肠套叠（5/9）和猫的瘤形成（6/9）。两只患有回盲结淋巴瘤的狗术后死亡。在可获得长期随访信息的15只动物中，只有2只大便软。然而，三只怀疑患有慢性肠病的狗需要长期单独使用低变应原饮食或结合药物进行长期治疗，以避免腹泻的发生。由于进行性疾病，对6只患有回盲性连接瘤的猫中的4只实施了安乐死。接受回盲关节切除术并在围手术期幸存的狗和猫可能具有良好的长期预后并伴有轻度或无临床体征，但可能需要长期的医疗管理。
