Acquired vesicovaginal fistula secondary to ovariohysterectomy in a bitch: a case report

Abstract: A seven-year-old bitch was referred for investigation of a two-month history of strangury. Clinical signs had developed within two days of elective ovariohysterectomy. Ultrasonographic and radiographic examinations suggested stump pyometra or cervical granuloma and vesicovaginal fistula. Two laparotomies were performed to repair the adhesions, but no reduction in clinical signs was observed. Medical treatment was performed. Eight months later, the animal was admitted for examination and it appeared to be healt… Show more

“…[1][2][3][4] Acquired UGFs are very uncommon in this species, but have been previously reported secondary to complications during ovariohysterectomy in one dog, and secondary to a migrating grass awn in another. 5,6 In contrast, acquired UGFs are routinely reported in women, and are the result of surgical injury, malignancy, infection, trauma and obstructed labour. 7 Those arising from dystocia are referred to as obstetric fistulas, and are the result of impaction of the fetus within the maternal pelvis.…”

“…Um segundo fator seria a introdução de bactérias que contribuem para a persistência e progressão da infecção por conta da capilaridade presente nos fios multifilamentosos frente aos fios monofilamentosos. E por último, a reatividade de cada tecido frente ao material de sutura (ATALLAH et al, 2013;GADELHA et al, 2004).…”

“…Most of them caused by the decreased estrogen levels resulting from ovary removal such as urinary incontinence (MANDIGERS;NELL, 2001), obesity (RENAULD et al, 1984) and increased bone resorption (OURSLER et al, 1993). In addition, there can also be complications inherent to the surgical procedure such as: profuse bleeding, stump pyometra, uterine stump, draining fistulous tracts, eunuchoid syndrome, hydronefrosis/hydroureter following accidental ligature of the ureter, vesicovaginal and/or vaginoperitoneal fistulas, extra-luminal obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract due to postsurgical intraperitoneal adhesions and ovarian remnant syndrome (ORS) (HOLT, 1985;COOLMAN et al, 1999;STONE, 2003;GADELHA et al, 2004;RAGNI, 2005;HOLT;BOHANNON;DAY, 2006;SILVA, 2008).…”
