Abstract: Multiple pelvic fractures can lead to narrowing of the pelvic canal and loss of life quality. Hemipelvectomy, characterized by removal of bone fragments from the pelvis, is considered a rescue therapy. This report describes the technique of caudal partial hemipelvectomy in four cases of obstipation secondary to traumatic pelvic canal narrowing in four dogs, with promising results. All patients had tenesmus and fecal retention. After the procedure, the patients presented immediate normochezia and support of the… Show more

“…To widen the narrowed pelvic canal, techniques such as triple pelvic osteotomy, external (concurrent limb amputation), or internal (limb preservation) hemipelvectomy can be used (COSTA et al, 2018). In this case, we chose mid-to-caudal partial hemipelvectomy due to the severe trauma associated with the femur, which differed from the other cases in this study since a polypropylene mesh was not required for pelvic wall closure.…”

“…Hemipelvectomy for the treatment of pelvic fracture and malunion has also been successfully reported. [9][10][11] One study reported the removal of varying amounts of the pubis, ischium, acetabulum and ilium to manage pelvic canal stenosis following malunion of pelvic fractures. 9 One dog in this study had bilateral pubis and ischium removal without removal of the ipsilateral hindlimb.…”

“…Pelvic narrowing >45-50% (respectively, in cats and dogs) potentially could still be a risk for malunion or pelvic canal narrowing that can result in constant or intermittent constipation after conservative treatment [ 7 , 12 , 19 , 35 , 36 ]. Intermittent constipation has been reported in two cats in Group 2.…”
