Bladder

Ex vivo comparison of single‐layer and double‐layer laparoscopic closure of equine bladders with 2 types of barbed sutures

“…Urinary bladder rupture in adult horses most often results from urethral obstruction or parturition . Although less common in adult horses than foals, urinary bladder rupture results in severe disease, for which surgical intervention is indicated.…”

“…Although less common in adult horses than foals, urinary bladder rupture results in severe disease, for which surgical intervention is indicated. The surgical access to the urinary bladder is invasive and its exteriorization is challenging . These limitations have prompted laparoscopic repair of cystorrhexis in adult horses and a foal, as well as experimental studies of laparoscopic cystorrhaphy in calves .…”

Bladder prolapse with simultaneous entrapment of a portion of the descending colon through the urethral sphincter secondary to dystocia in a mare

“…Urinary bladder displacement is rare in horses. Two types of displacement have been reported; extrusion through a tear in the vagina and true prolapse with eversion of the bladder, as in this case (Schott & Woodie, 2019). The latter occurs because the mare's urethra has a large diameter, and the bladder may be everted into the vagina after severe straining during parturition or associated with colic (Canisso et al, 2013).…”

“…Premature placenta separation is confirmed when the cervical star is observed on the chorionic surface. The urinary bladder can be identified by the presence of ureteral openings (Schott & Woodie, 2019). Bladder prolapse is rare, but it is crucial to distinguish these two structures.…”
