Abstract
|
|
|
|
A 10-year-old spayed female Shih-tzu dog with a left-sided caudal abdominal swelling of 2-month clinical duration was referred to the Konkuk University Teaching Hospital (KUVTH). We confirmed the presence of an abdominal mass by radiography and ultrasongraphy. A gossypiboma was identified between bladder and small intestines at surgery and removed. The resulting peritoneal adhesion was severe. But, the peritoneal defect did not allow easy repair of the abdominal wall. Therefore, polypropylene mesh (PPM) was used in repair. The patient was good condition after surgery with no caudal abdominal swelling. We followed the patient for the next 6 months with no complication.
