Extraction of urethral calculi by transabdominal cystoscopy and urethroscopy in nine dogs

Abstract

A minimally invasive approach is used to treat urethral obstructions resulting from calculi in the male dogs.

Evaluation of costs and time required for laparoscopic-assisted versus open cystotomy for urinary cystolith removal in dogs: 43 cases (2009–2012)

“…One of the purported advantages of LAC is the ability to use the endoscope as a cystoscope, which improves intraluminal viewing of the urinary bladder. 3,9,10 A potential benefit of this might be limiting the risk of incomplete cystolith removal, which is reported in up to 42% of dogs undergoing OC. 1 Reducing the risk of incomplete cystolith removal has been one of the justifications for LAC at our institution.…”

“…[5][6][7][8] Additionally, there is enhanced visualization of the bladder and proximal portion of the urethra because of the magnification and illumination provided by the endoscope during cystoscopy, which may limit the risk of incomplete cystolith removal. 3,9,10 Although laparoscopic-assisted procedures have potential advantages, they also have several potential disadvantages, such as increased expense and technical difficulty, which may increase operative time, compared with open surgery. 6,8 Evaluation of costs and time required for laparoscopic-assisted versus open cystotomy for urinary cystolith removal in dogs: 43 cases (2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)…”

Cistostomía asistida por laparoscopia para la extracción de urolitos en perros: Reporte de un caso

“…O peritônio é desinflado e a bexiga é retirada parcialmente do abdômen e, posteriormente, é realizada a cistotomia para passagem da óptica. Após o término do procedimento deve ser realizada uma sutura na bexiga e a reintrodução da mesma para o interior do abdômen e, em seguida realiza-se a sutura da musculatura, subcutâneo e pele (Libermann et al, 2011).…”

Laparoskopische Behandlung eines Rüden mit Hämoabdomen nach präskrotaler Kastration

“…Minimalinvasive Operationstechniken finden in der Veterinärmedizin bei vielen routinemäßigen Eingriffen Anwendung, beispielsweise am Urogenitaltrakt (15,23,27), am Gastrointestinaltrakt (5,11,25,26), bei der Biopsie verschiedener Organe für eine weiterführende Diagnostik (18,21,22,30), sowie diversen intrathorakalen Eingriffen (14,19,31). Die wichtigsten Vorteile der minimalinvasiven Chirurgie umfassen eine verringerte Morbidität des Pa-tienten, eine bessere und vergrößerte Darstellung der relevanten Organe sowie eine geringere Komplikationsrate (6,7,9).…”
