Miller's knot case study: step 1
A step-by-step photo package illustrating application of a Miller's knot for veterinarians.
The procedure was used in the emergency lung lobectomy of a 6-year-old, mixed-breed dog that had a suppurative pleuritis and lung abscess. It had part of a wooden stick lodged in the cranial lung lobe area. In this photo, you can see the wooden stick material extending from the parasternotomy.
