Surgical procedures used for post-traumatic neurogenic bladder in a cat: report case

Procedimentos cirúrgicos utilizados no tratamento da bexiga neurogênica em um gato: relato de caso

Abstracts

A 1-year-old castrated crossbred male cat was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for evaluation of urinary retention associated with a subluxation at T12-T13 caused by a car accident. Urethral sphincter denervation by transection of hypogastric and pudendal nerves was performed to allow bladder emptying, but after three months post operation the cat had a urinary retention recurrence. Endoscopic urethral sphincterotomy was done resulting in urinary incontinence for four months.
