A new method for attachment of a belt-loop gastropexy using disposable, stainless steel skin staples was compared with a traditional hand-sewn belt-loop gastropexy technique in 24 fresh dog cadavers. Mean gastropexy times were 212 seconds for the stapled technique and 435 seconds for the hand-sewn technique. The stapled belt-loop gastropexy was significantly faster than the hand-sewn technique (P less than 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean maximum tensile strength between the two attachment methods. This study provides a basis for clinical evaluation of the stapled belt-loop gastropexy technique in dogs.
