diagnose ureteral trauma

clamp injury leads to ureteral trauma after how many minutes
60
Ureteroureterostomy
ureteral anastomosis
procedure of choice for proximal ureter
high incidence of complications
Neoureterocystostomy
ureteral reimplantation
Used when proximal ureteral length is insufficient to reach the bladder but long enough to cross midline
transureterourostomy
Fixes the bladder in a more cranial position
psoas hitch
Most common indication for ureteral surgery

distal 1/3 of urethra
normally mucus plugs, crystals or stones
common urethral obstructions in dogs

stones
creating a temporary opening into the urethra
prescrotal urethrotomy - indicated when calculi cannot be hydropropulsed
forming a permanent opening of the urethra at a new site
urethrostomy
scrotal is preferred in dogs
indications for a urethrostomy
permanent damage
recurrent urethral obstruction
obrtruction that cannot be retropulsed
T/F
prescrotal urethrostomy has a higher incidence of urine scald than scrotal urethrostomy
TRUE
also has more cavernous tissue and is ONLY indicated when a more distal approach is not possible
a salvage procedure to treat FLUTDS and calculi in male cats
perineal urethrostomy
T/F
perineal urethrostomy in cats will prevent FLUTDS and will lower the incidence of bacterial cystitis
FALSE – does not prevent FLUTDS and will increase incidence of bacterial cystitis
