Inversion of uterus and vagina in parturition, complicated with prolapse of bladder, in a bitch

Abstract

A case of inversion of uterus and vagina in parturition complicated with prolapse of bladder in a bitch, has been reported in this paper by the authors. After referring the cases in all animals species recorded in the available literature, they have concluded that works on this subject are not so common as far as female dogs and cats are concerned. The clinical report and the operative surgery carried out as oophorohysterectomy and colpopexy have been described. The use of cotton thread as suture material for this operation, ligating the blood vessels and suturing the genital organs has shown very good results. The ectopia of urinary and genital organs has been discussed and the difference between the words prolapse and inversion has been commented in agreement with the opinion of the most of authors. They have concluded by the success of the surgical treatment attained of this condition.
