Summary:A 16-day-old, male, crossbred kid was presented with a history of a poor suckling reflex, stranguria and dysuria.The owners noticed that the animal was vocalizing and straining to urinate. Physical examination revealed a narrowed urethral process and orifice that caused formation of a penile urethral diverticulum. The narrowed urethral process was removed with scissors. Penile urethral diverticulectomy was performed by the guidance of urethral catheter. Postoperatively, penile urethra and urethral orifice were both appeared to be healed without any complications, and the clinical problems observed preoperatively were recovered.Key words: Diverticulectomy, diverticulum, kid, stricture, urethral orifice. Bir oğlakta penil uretral divertikülümÖzet: Bu olgu sunumunu azalan emme refleksi, stranguri ve disuri hikayesi ile getirilen 16 günlük, melez bir erkek oğlak oluşturdu. Hasta sahibi oğlağın idrarını zorlanarak ve bağırarak yaptığına dikkat çekti. Olgunun yapılan klinik muayenesinde processus urethralis ve deliğinin daralmış olduğu ve buna bağlı olarak da yaklaşık 4 cm çapında ve prepüsyal deliğin 2 cm kaudalinde penil uretral divertikülümün varlığı belirlendi. Daralmış olan processus urethralis makas ile ampute edildi. Üretral kateter rehberliğinde penil uretral divertikülektomi gerçekleştirildi. Postoperatif olarak, penil uretra ve uretral deliğin herhangi bir komplikasyon olmaksızın iyileştiği ve operasyon öncesi gözlenen klinik problemlerin sağaltıldığı görüldü.
Summary:The objectives of the present study were to describe the complementary use of radiography and ultrasonography in the diagnosis of upper urinary tract disorders in dogs, and to compare ultrasonographic findings with the survey and contrast radiographic findings in the evaluation of canine upper urinary tract diseases. The study materials were composed of 22 dogs of various breed, age, and sex with upper urinary tract diseases. Pyelonephritis (9 cases), acute renal failure (7 cases), policystic renal disease (2 cases), bilateral hydronephrosis (one case), radiopaque nephrolith (2 cases), unilateral ectopic ureter (one case) were diagnosed radiographically and ultrasonographically. The results of the present study indicate that ultrasonography was more sensitive than radiography in diagnosis of upper urinary diseases but was incapable in qualitative evaluation of renal functions and in examination of the ureters. Survey radiographs had little value in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis, disorders of renal pelvis, ureters except for the identification of radiopaque nephrolith. It was determined that EU was valuable for determination of the ectopic ureter, hydronephrosis, and evaluation of renal function.
