Objective: To describe risk factors for as well as type and frequency of complications, time to occurrence of complications, and mortality after temporary tube cystostomy alone or in combination with other surgical procedures, in goats, sheep, and pigs.
Study Design: Retrospective case series.
Animals: One hundred thirteen goats, eight sheep, and six pigs.
Methods: Medical records of goats, sheep, and pigs that underwent temporary tube cystostomy alone or in combination with urethrotomy at the Veterinary Medicine Teaching Hospital, University of California-Davis from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2018 were reviewed. Signalment, presurgical and surgical procedures, urolith type and location, and postoperative complications and mortality were analyzed. In goats, logistic regression analysis was performed to determine association between the presence of complications or mortality as well as candidate predictor variables.
Results: Postoperative complications were reported in 54.9% (62/113) of goats, 37.5% (3/8) of sheep, and 50% (3/6) of pigs. The most frequent type of complication was reobstruction. Median (range) time to first complication was 171 days (1-2247) for goats. In sheep and pigs, the range for time to re-presentation for complications was 11 to 37 and 17 to 1182 days, respectively. Proportions of nonsurvivors after tube cystostomy were 48.4% (30/62) goats, 1/8 sheep and 2/6 pigs. No association between examined predictor variables and the occurrence of complications or mortality was detected.
Conclusion: The risk of complications and mortality after temporary tube cystostomy was high, especially in goats.
Clinical Significance: Owners should be made aware of the high complication rate after temporary tube cystostomy alone or in combination with other procedures. Investigation of alternative approaches to manage obstructive urolithiasis in goats, sheep, and pigs should be considered.

The use of a percutaneous cystostomy tube as an adjunctive treatment option for dogs with idiopathic functional outflow tract obstruction.
J Vet Intern Med
December 2024
Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, 510 East 62nd Street, New York, New York 10065, USA.
Background: Functional outflow tract obstruction (FOO) remains a challenging disease to manage in male dogs. Cystostomy tubes have been used to relieve urethral obstruction while allowing time to achieve effective medical management, avoiding the need for emergency visits and repeat urinary catheterizations.
Objectives: To describe a series of dogs with FOO and categorize the most successful management strategies including medical management alone or with the support of cystostomy tubes for urinary diversion.

Introduction: We describe a method of robotic ureterocalicostomy (RALUC) with the Da Vinci Single Port (SP) platform and present clinical outcomes in our cohort of patients.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing RALUC with the SP platform in a single-institution, IRB-approved database between 2020-2023. Demographics, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were collated.

Background: Urethral obstruction is a common and life-threatening condition in male small ruminants.
Case Presentation: This case report describes a 3-year old 103 kg Zwartbles breeding ram, presented with the complaint of straining, suspected to have an urethral obstruction. The work-up included clinical examination, laboratory analyses, ultrasound imaging, (contrast) radiography and urine examination.

Article Synopsis
- An 18-year-old male cat with urinary issues underwent a subcutaneous ureteral bypass (SUB) due to kidney stones, but developed further urinary problems more than a year later.
- After experiencing persistent problems and a mass near the SUB device, the cat was diagnosed with UC, marking the first recorded case of UC related to an indwelling urinary catheter in veterinary medicine.
Ensuring Neurosurgical Equity: Setup for Safe Ventricular Endoscopy and Predictors of Clinical Outcome in a Resource-Limited Health Care System.
World Neurosurg
November 2024
Division of Neurosurgery, Department of surgery, Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria.
Article Synopsis
- Neuroendoscopic surgeries are often limited by the availability of specialized equipment, especially in resource-limited healthcare systems; this review discusses utilizing locally sourced materials for safe procedures.
- Methods included using common medical supplies as substitutes for surgical tools, achieving a retrospective review of 21 surgeries over three years.
- Results showed an ETV success rate of 82.4% in surviving patients, although complications occurred, indicating that with creativity, neurosurgical care can be safely adapted to resource limitations.
