Abstract
A 6-month-old neutered male pot-bellied pig was presented for an obstructive urethral stone which was successfully removed by percutaneous cystolithotomy (PCCL). The pig recovered well although suspected urethral spasms and pollakiuria persisted for 2 weeks after surgery. The owner reported a good urine stream 2 months after discharge. This novel minimally invasive approach provided excellent visualization and allowed complete evaluation of the lower urinary tract. Percutaneous cystolithotomy holds great promise for the future treatment of various lower urinary tract disorders in this species.Entities:
