“…Barium contrast radiography has been used after surgery to correct recurrent colocloacal prolapse in a cockatoo (Cacatua galerita). 18 Contrast studies enable monitoring of the effectiveness of the colopexy in maintaining cloacal position and allowing normal gastrointestinal tract function. Where there is a risk of possible leakage, water-soluble contrast, such as iohexol, should be used in preference to barium.…”

Sixteen cases of cloacal prolapse in raptors were reviewed in this study. Colonic prolapse was the most common presentation (56% of cases). Red-tailed hawks ( Buteo jamaicensis ) were overrepresented, comprising 66% of colonic prolapse cases. In cases of colonic prolapse, postsurgical stricture formation was a commonly identified complication after resection and anastomosis of the colon. A novel technique was used in 2 cases of colonic prolapse, in which sterile, semirigid rubber tubing was placed in the distal colon and removed per-cloaca at the end of the procedure; this facilitated a secure, fluid-tight anastomosis while maintaining sufficient intestinal lumen. Oviductal prolapse (31% of cases) was associated with the most guarded prognosis (40% treatment success). Cloacoliths were treated successfully in 2 birds (13% of cases) by minimally invasive per-cloacal manual removal.
