| Abstract | ||||
| The current study was planned to clarify the benefit from using laparoscopic tube cystotomy in treatment of obstructive urolithiasis especially in the cases that do not respond to urethral process amputation. For this purpose, 14 small ruminant cases were selected from 20 animals with obstructive urolithiasis. Another six cases that responded to urethral process amputation were also included. The disease was diagnosed based on clinical and ultrasonographic examinations. Laparoscopic tube cystotomy was performed by creating a diversion of urine from the urethra and voiding the urine temporarily from a foley catheter inserted inside the urinary bladder. In conclusion, this technique proved to be feasible in rams and bucks and can be used as an alternative to the open conventional tube cystotomy in cases of urine retention syndrome providing a minimal invasive tissue trauma and regaining the normal urination pathway in all treated cases. | ||||
