초록
A 5-year-old male Laika dog was referred with chief complaint of dyschezia and tenesmus. The dog had rectal prolapse and it was corrected with rectal resection and anastomosis, a year ago. On rectal examination, the stricture of rectum was identified. The irregular scar tissues on serosal and muscular layers of rectum were noted and they were dispersed with partial thickness incision around rectum. Then, the colopexy and mechanical dilation with balloon catheter were applied. No recurrence of rectal prolapse and other complications were noted during follow up periods of 1 year. This report described a successfully corrected anastomotic rectal stricture in a dog.
