The purpose of this study was to compare the anatomic and histopathologic results of four different methods of pleurodesis in 10 dogs. Each animal was randomly assigned to receive two of the following methods of pleurodesis: thoracoscopic talc insufflation (poudrage), talc slurry administration, focal gauze abrasion by limited thoracotomy, and mechanical abrasion by thoracoscopy using a commercially available pleural abrader, Animals were killed 30 days after pleurodesis. At autopsy, the efficacy of pleurodesis was graded by evaluating the gross appearance of each pleural cavity and lung (pleurodesis score), and by determining the extent of adhesion formation (obliteration grade), Pleural and lung biopsy specimens were obtained from the areas most representative of adhesion formation for histopathologic evaluation, Pleurodesis scores (on a scale of 0 to 4) were 3.0+/-0.7 for talc poudrage (p
