HIDRONEFROSE IATROGÊNICA APÓS ovariosalpingohisterectomia EM FELINO

Abstract

The aim of this study is to report a serious post ovariosalpingohisterectomy complication that culminated in unattractive iatrogenic hydronephrosis in a feline. The animal had a history of having undergone an ovariosalpingohisterectomy procedure shortly after. Clinical signs included severe sialorrhea, muscle tremors, and hipocolored mucosa. Hematological evaluation showed no noteworthy changes; however, the biochemical exam showed an increase in creatinine and urea values. The ultrasound examination revealed an absent corticomedullary relation, a hyperechoic renal capsule, no definition of the medullary and pelvic region, and anechoic content with discrete cellularity. Thus, hydronephrosis was diagnosed and unilateral nephrectomy was instituted as a therapeutic protocol. In conclusion, even in routine procedures, surgical complications can be severe, so surgeons should have a thorough knowledge of the surgical techniques, anatomy and materials to be used in each case in order to avoid them.
