Abstract
A cat that underwent bilateral ventral bulla osteotomy (VBO) for treatment of otitis media and otitis interna secondary to bilateral inflammatory polyps, developed upper airway obstruction (UAO) soon after tracheal extubation. The cat was re-intubated but the UAO did not resolve at the next extubation. Eventually, tracheostomy was performed. Upper airway obstruction is a potential postoperative complication of bilateral VBO in cats.Entities:
