ABSTRACT
Background:
Ectopic ureter is a congenital anomaly in which the final segment of one or both ureteral orifices is locateddistal to the bladder trigone. It may be classified as intra- or extramural. Surgical treatment of ectopic ureters in dogs isrecommended and the approach varies with the classification. In the postoperative period, complications are common.When stenosis of the new ureteral ostium occurs, immediate repeated surgery is recommended. This study aimed at usingthe double J catheter placement following neoureterostomy to treat urethral obstruction secondary to the surgical treatmentof an intramural ectopic ureter in a dog.Case An 8-month-old female French bulldog with dysuria and urinary incontinence was seen at a private veterinaryhospital in Jaboticabal, São Paulo. The patient had previously been diagnosed with an intramural ectopic ureter on theright side following imaging tests (ultrasound, computed tomography, and abdominal radiography, excretory urography)and had undergone neoureterostomy and closure of the intramural pathway approximately a year ago. Ultrasonographicexamination showed dilation of the caudal portion of the ureter and hydroureter, which was suggestive of right ureteralstenosis. Computed tomography was also performed to evaluate the kidneys, ureters, and bladder; an increase in the diameter of the right ureter in its middle portion and close to the bladder triangle was observed. A new surgical interventionwas indicated and performed. The ureteral route was identified in a region of the bladder trigone, incised, and probed witha urethral probe No. 04. The intramural course in the proximal urethra was identified and probed with a 16G epiduralcatheter. It was necessary to perform a neoureterostomy. A longitudinal incision (spatulation) of approximately 5 mm wasmade in the distal portion of the right ureter to increase the circumference of the...Palavras-chave
