Figure 1—
Overall and postoperative mortality rates in all dogs with GDV that had incisional gastropexy alone (GP), incisional gastropexy and partial gastrectomy (GP/GX), incisional gastropexy and splenectomy (GP/SX), or all three surgical procedures (GP/GX/SX). Asterisk (*) indicates a significant (P<0.05) association with mortality.
