Abstract
Six patients (5 dogs, 1 cat) were referred with the complications of urinary tract injuries. Clinical signs were vomiting (4/6), oliguria (2/6) and anuria (3/6). Four females had been spayed, 1 male had cryptorchid orchiectomy and 1 male had been operated for removing calculi in the urethra. Both preoperative and intraoperative investigation were performed and they were confirmed as iatrogenic injuries in the urinary tract during surgery. Depending on the condition of the complications, urethral anastomosis, unilateral nephrectomy, ureteroneocystostomy, colonic urinary diversion, ureterourethral anastomosis, cystostomy and suture of the defect region were performed separately in individual cases. Postoperative observation revealed 50% (3 cases) survival rate of the patients.
