Abstract
This article describes the use of laparoscopic-assisted cystoscopy for removal of urinary calculi in five dogs. All dogs had micturition disorder due to urinary calculi. The surgical technique used was same in all cases. A urethral catheter passed into the urinary bladder through the urethra preoperatively. A 5-mm diameter cannula was placed in the ventral midline, 1 to 2 cm cranial to the umbilicus, and the 5-mm laparoscope was introduced via the cannula. A 10-mm diameter cannula was placed adjacent to the apex of the bladder under the visual guidance of laparoscopy. The bladder was then partially exteriorized through the 10-mm portal site, and a stab incision was performed on the bladder wall. The incisional margin of the bladder was sutured to the skin of the second portal site in $360^{\circ}$ simple continuous suture. A 2.7-mm diameter cystoscope with a sheath was introduced into the bladder lumen. The cystic and urethral calculi were removed under the visual guidance of cystoscopy with continuous fluid flushing. No major postoperative complications were identified. During the follow up period (range 7 to 21 months), no episodes of urinary dysfunction or recurrence of clinical signs were observed.
