Abstract

A Maltese (case 1) and a Labrador Retriever (case 2) presented with urinary incontinence. General conditions were good and screening tests, including a complete blood count, serum chemistry and radiography, were performed. Excretory urography was conducted, and fluoroscopy was performed for case 1 and computed tomography was performed for case 2. The dogs were diagnosed as right extramural ectopic ureter in case 1 and bilateral intramural ectopic ureter in case 2. We performed surgical corrections, including a neoureterocystostomy for extramural ectopic ureter and neoureterostomy for intramural ectopic ureter. After surgery, the dogs were catheterized with an indwelling catheter for 3 days. Urinary incontinence improved completely and the clinical outcomes were good. The choice of adequate surgical procedure is important for correcting ectopic ureters in canines.

말티즈(증례1)와 라브라도 레트리버(증례2)가 요실금 증상으로 내원하였다. 전신상태는 양호하였으며, 혈액혈청검사 및 방사선검사상에서 이상소견은 나타나지 않았다. 증례 1에서는 투시검사, 증례2에서는 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 통해 배설 요로조영검사를 실시하였다. 증례1은 우측 강외성 이소성 요관으로, 증례2는 양측성 강내성 이소성 요관으로 진단되었다. 각각의 증례는 neoureterocytostomy (증례1)와 neoureterostomy (증례2)를 실시하였다. 술후, 3일동안 요관 카테터를 장착하였다. 술후 요실금 증상은 개선되었으며, 다른 임상증상은 나타나지 않았다. 개의 이소성 요관 형태에 따른 적절한 수술법을 통해 이소성 요관을 효과적으로 치료할 수 있었다.
