Abstract
To evaluate a sling procedure using a polyester ribbon passed through the obturator foramen, around the urethra, and fixed outside the pelvis for the treatment of female dogs with refractory urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI). 26 female dogs with USMI that had not improved with medical management. All dogs underwent a transpelvic sling procedure, and in 13, with a radiographic diagnosis of a pelvic bladder, additional colposuspension was performed. Multichannel urethral pressure profilometry (UPP) and diuresis cystourethrometry (UCM) were performed in all dogs before and in seven dogs 2 to 14 months after surgery. Long-term results of surgery and medical therapy were determined. 13 dogs (50%), 6 of these without additional colposuspension, were continent after surgery and remained continent during a follow-up period of 12 to 36 months (mean, 19 months). Seven, three of which had colposuspension, had improved markedly. Four of these dogs became continent with additional medical therapy. Five dogs did not improve, and three of these were eventually euthanatized. In one dog, the sling was removed after 5 days because of persistent stranguria. Surgery and medical therapy together resulted in continence in 17 dogs (65%...Continue Reading
