Two portal video-assisted colopexy for treatment of recurrent rectal prolapse

摘要

> face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">This report describes a two portals video-assisted colopexy technique in a case of dog with recurrent rectal prolapse. After laparoscopic approach, the descending colon was pulled in a caudocranial direction to promote the prolapse reduction. The prepubic laparoscopic access was enlarged for the exteriorization of colon's antimesenteric border, which was incised in its seromuscular layer with a similar size of the muscular wall incision, creating a 2,5cm wound. The colopexy on the internal muscular sheath was performed using a simple continuous pattern with 2-0 polyglycolic acid. There were no transoperative complications, as well as evidence of recurrence or episodes of tenesmus and dyschezia for at least six months after surgery. The video-assisted colopexy described is an alternative to the conventional technique of recurrent rectal prolapse treatment in dogs.
