Pubectomy and stereotactic radiotherapy for the treatment of a non-resectable sacral osteosarcoma causing pelvic canal obstruction in a dog

摘要

A pubectomy was carried out to relieve obstruction of the pelvic canal in a 6-year-old dog diagnosed with sacral osteosarcoma. Two days after surgery, the dog was ambulatory with normal urination and defecation. Pubectomy is a viable option to relieve clinical signs in patients with pelvic canal obstruction due to a non-resectable tumor.
