ABSTRACT
Ávila Filho SH, Silva CCL, Moura RS, Paula NA, Lemes
AR, Mendes FF, Rodrigues DF, Iatrogenic hydronephrosis and hydroureter in a
female Boxer dog, Onl J Vet Res., 18(4): 369-376, 2014. A case of iatrogenic hydroureter and hydronephrosis
after spay surgery in a 2 year old female boxer dog is described. One month
after caesarian section and ovario-hysterectomy, an
abdominal mass was found during amniocentesis. Abdominal ultrasonography
revealed hydronephrosis and hydroureter
with normal urine and blood test values. Exploratory laparotomy showed a
ligature on the left ureter near the uterine stump and the affected kidney was
drained. Nephrectomy had to be performed due to the large loss of renal
parenchyma. Five months after surgery the dog appeared healthy. The findings
suggest that due caution should be taken before routine elective spay surgery.
A timely diagnosis of iatrogenic ureter ligature avoids kidney damage.
Key words: Iatrogenic, nephrectomy, ovariohisterectomy, renal pelvis, ureter.
