Our study&nbsp;aimed to establish a quadrantectomy clinical and surgical protocol for the treatment of mammary tumors&nbsp;in bitches, similar to those performed in women. Between March 2014 and December 2015, 154 bitches&nbsp;were admitted to the Obstetric Sector of the Veterinarian Hospital of the Rural Federal University of Rio&nbsp;de Janeiro. One hundred and forty-one of those bitches presented different variants of mammary tumors&nbsp;and were treated with surgical procedures. Pre-operational evaluation included tumor staging through&nbsp;the TNM system and assessment of surgical risk. The following agents were used throughout the surgical&nbsp;procedures: Acepromazine 0.2% (0.2 mg/kg, IM) or Diazepam for pre-anaesthesia, a Diisopropylphenol&nbsp;0.5% (2.0 to 8.0 mg/kg, IV), IM during the general anaesthesia induction, and closed-circuit Isoflurane&nbsp;in the stage of management of anaesthesia. Quadrantectomy was performed as a maneuver to prevent&nbsp;tumor recurrence. The maneuver proved effective due to the 95.5% survival rate, compared to the 90.5%&nbsp;survival rate of right or left unilateral mastectomy and bilateral mastectomy techniques. Quadrantectomy&nbsp;in association with dissection method, surgical drain, and compression bandaging was considered an&nbsp;effective and easily applicable surgical procedure in bitches with mammary tumors&nbsp;</p> ER -
