Surgical Treatment of Urethral Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence in Female Dogs

چکیده
Urinary incontinence—loss of voluntary control over the retention and expulsion of urine—is a common medical problem in small animal patients. Incontinence occurs when pressure within the bladder exceeds urethral pressure. Incontinence may result from a variety of etiologies, including congenital anatomic abnormalities of the lower urinary and reproductive systems (ureter, bladder, bladder neck, urethra, vagina, vestibule) as well as neurologic, neoplastic, infectious, and inflammatory diseases.

Artificial Urethral Sphincters
Background: Urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence (USMI) occurs in 13.6% to 20.1% of dogs following ovariohysterectomy. Urethral sphincter dysfunction is also a common cause of failure after surgical repair of ureteral ectopia, with approximately 50% of dogs suffering from continued urine leakage after ureteral reconstruction. Dogs that fail to respond to pharmacologic therapy require surgi...

متن کاملGonadotropin-releasing hormone immunization for the treatment of urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence in ovariectomized bitches.
We have investigated GnRH immunization for the treatment of urethral sphincter mechanism incompetence in ovariectomized bitches. It has been reported that decreasing LH secretion through the use of GnRH agonists temporarily restores continence in some bitches. Therefore, decreasing the circulating LH concentrations by immunizing against GnRH might temporarily maintain continence in incontinent ...
متن کاملA Review on Urinary Incontinence in Dogs - Diagnosis and Treatment
Primary Sphincter Mechanism Incompetence (PSMI) (idiopathic incontinence, hormone-responsive incontinence) is the most common and important acquired cause of incontinence in dogs. It largely is a condition of spayed female dogs, but in some breeds incontinence may precede ovariohysterectomy (OHE). Decreases in maximal urethral closure pressure and functional urethral length predictably occur du...

The main motivation in the treatment of ectopic ureter (EU) is achieving complete urinary continence. Although, new neoureterostomy techniques were developed for the surgical treatment of intramural ectopic ureters, it was determined that postoperative incontinence scores achieved with the latest techniques have no distinct superiority over those achieved with older techniques. Therefore, we ai...
