Plain-English summary
Eight healthy mixed-breed dogs underwent a minimally invasive surgery called colopexy, which helps attach the colon to the abdominal wall. The procedure was done using a laparoscopic technique, meaning it involved small incisions and special instruments. There were no major complications during or after the surgery, and tests showed that the dogs did not experience significant inflammation afterward. Overall, the dogs recovered well from the procedure without any serious issues.

Abstract
Colopexy was accomplished in eight healthy mixed-breed dogs by use of a 3-portal laparoscopic technique without major intraoperative and postoperative complications. A permanent adhesion between the colon and the abdominal wall was observed. Concentrations of acute-phase C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in serum as a marker of systemic inflammation postoperatively, and no relevant increase in CRP concentrations was found.
