Dr. Stacy Anderson’s research has focused on a range of topics related to equine abdominal disease, otherwise known as colic. During her master’s program at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan, she evaluated the biomechanical properties of abdominal incision closures in horses. She demonstrated that a large suture, 1-mm polydioxanone, had higher bursting strength than the equine abdominal wall and increased horse age resulted in a significant reduction in bursting strength of the equine abdominal wall. When used clinically, use of 1-mm polydioxanone to close abdominal incisions resulted in less post-operative incisional herniation compared to previously published reports where smaller size suture was used. During her master’s program, she also investigated the biomechanical properties of jejuno-ileal anastosmoses, comparing hand-sewn to stapled techniques.
