Cystotomies in Dogs and Cats.

Course information:

This course uses narrated slides and videos to show the participant to how successfully and thoroughly perform a cystotomy in dogs and cats for the purpose of removing uroliths.  Urolith recurrence is a common problem in small animals and it is thought that many recur because uroliths (albeit small) are left behind at the time of the surgery.

Course Objectives:

  • Appropriate approaches for cystotomies in the male dog, female dog and cats
  • How to ensure that no uroliths are left behind.

  • Closure techniques for bladder incision are discussed and demonstrated as well as suture material choices.
  • Clearing the urethra of uroliths at the time of the cystotomy.
  • Post-operative information for the cystotomy patient.
