ABSTRACT

 

Hayati F, Shaterzadeh-Yazdi H, Ghodrati MS, Hedayati M., Partial hepatectomy in a myna bird (Acridotheres tristis) with abdominal hernia, Onl J Vet Res., 21(6):301-307, 2017. A 1yr old common myna presented with abdominal distention and an open wound. Upon examination and radiography, hepatomegaly and abdominal hernia were diagnosed. The bird was anesthetized with isoflurane and oxygen for ventral celiotomy with partial hepatectomy by guillotine. Hepatic lipidosis was confirmed by microscopy and the bird was confined in a cage to restrict movement for 2 weeks. The bird recovered completely without any complications. The follow up for 6 months revealed sound recovery. To the author’s knowledge, this is the first report of managing abdominal hernia by partial hepatectomy in birds with hepatomegaly. This procedure can be recommended in birds suffered from combination of hepatomegaly and abdominal hernia.

 

Keywords: Common myna, lipidosis, hernia, partial hepatectomy.
