Summary
Prepubic percutaneous access offers advantages for diagnosing and treating urinary bladder diseases in animals. This endoscopic technique overcomes limitations of traditional transurethral or perineal approaches, improving diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Medicine
- Surgical Innovation
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Cystoscopy is crucial for diagnosing urinary bladder diseases.
- Transurethral and perineal endoscopic techniques have anatomical limitations.
- A novel prepubic percutaneous access method was investigated.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the advantages of prepubic percutaneous access for urinary bladder diagnosis and treatment.
- To assess the feasibility of this technique in veterinary patients.
- To describe the endoscopic instrumentation and procedure.
Main Methods:
- A prepubic percutaneous endoscopic approach was utilized.
- The technique was applied to three dogs and two cats.
- Detailed documentation of endoscopic instruments and procedural steps was performed.
Main Results:
- The prepubic percutaneous access demonstrated potential advantages.
- The endoscopic instrumentarium and technical procedure were successfully described.
- This method offers an alternative to conventional endoscopic routes.
Conclusions:
- Prepubic percutaneous access is a viable alternative for urinary bladder endoscopy in animals.
- This technique may overcome anatomical limitations of other endoscopic methods.
- Further research can explore expanded applications in veterinary urology.
