Ballistic shock wave lithotripsy in an 18-year-old thoroughbred gelding
1Department of Clinical Studies, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph.
Abstract:
Prolonged postoperative recuperation time and restricted exercise were circumvented by using ballistic shock wave lithotripsy to break up an 8-cm diameter vesical calculus and by flushing out the sand-like residue under epidural anesthesia with the horse standing. Recovery was uneventful.
