Urohydropropulsion
Urohydropropulsion is a veterinary medical procedure used to remove small bladder stones (uroliths) from an animal's bladder or urethra using fluid pressure. It is commonly performed in dogs and cats as a non-surgical method to treat urolithiasis, mainly when stones are located in the lower urinary tract.
Indications for use?
Indications for using urohydropropulsion include removing small uroliths that are too large to pass naturally but small enough to be expelled with fluid pressure and providing temporary relief from urinary obstruction caused by stones.
Additional information?
Urohydropropulsion is a valuable technique for managing urinary stones in animals, especially in cases where surgery is unnecessary or poses additional risks. Proper diagnosis and case selection by a veterinarian are essential for successful outcomes.
