Treatment of Complete Urethral Obstruction by using Pneumatic Lithotripsy in a Dog: A Preliminary Report

Bu olgu sunumunda bir köpekte tam üretral obstrüksiyonun tedavisinde minimal invaziv sistoskopik pnömatik litotripsi tekniğinin kullanımı anlatıldı. Olgunun hayvan materyalini idrar yaparken zorlanma ve son iki gündür idrar yapamama şikâyetleri ile getirilen, postrenal azotemia ve hematuria tespit edilen Chihuahua ırkı, 5 yaşlı bir köpek oluşturdu. Tam üretral obstrüksiyona neden olan üretral taşlar sistoskopi ile görüntülendi, pnömatik litotriptör kullanılarak parçalandı ve taş fragmanları voiding urohydropulsiyon yöntemiyle dışarıya alındı. Sonuç olarak, pnömatik litotripsi yöntemi tam üretral obstrüksiyonun tedavisinde başarılı bir şekilde kullanıldı.

Treatment of Complete Urethral Obstruction by using Pneumatic Lithotripsy in a Dog: A Preliminary Report

In this preliminary case presentation, use of the minimally invasive cystoscopic pneumatic lithotripsy technique in the treatment of complete urethral obstruction in a dog has been described. The animal of the case comprised a 5-year old Chihuahua presenting with difficulty during urination and inability to urinate for the previous 2 days. Post-renal azotemia and hematuria was determined. Urethral stones causing complete urethral obstruction were visualized via cystoscopy, fragmented with a pneumatic lithotripter and the stone fragments were removed using the voiding urohydropulsion method. In conclusion, the pneumatic lithotripsy method was successfully used in the treatment of complete urethral obstruction.
