Abstract Obstructive urolithiasis and its complication of ruptured bladder considered the most common affection of the urinary system in small ruminants. Urinary tract surgery in small ruminants is mainly performed in cases of obstructive urolithiasis. This affection and its following biological changes and uremia may eventually lead to the death of the animal. Laparoscopic tube cystotomy and laparoscopic assisted tube cystotomy offers a minimal invasive surgical intervention to solve this problem with the advantages of minimal soft tissue trauma along with preserving the integrity of the urethra that keep the animal viable for breeding purposes. This work was planned to evaluate the laparoscopic tube cystotomy technique versus the open conventional tube cystotomy regarding its feasibility, stress on the animal and soft tissue trauma, as well as the post-operative activity of the animals. This technique was also applied on the clinical cases of urine retention syndrome admitted to the clinic of Surgery, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagazig University. The experimental part of the study was carried out on eight baladibucks of an age ranged from (6-9 month). And classified in to 2 groups each of 4 animals. In the first group, a laparoscopic tube cystotomy was performed III trendelenburg position under the effect of local infiltration anaesthesia. Pneumoperitonium was established using C02 gas till the I.A.P reach 13 mmHg. Three portals were used during this technique |
