    Abstract This retrospective case series describes the use of progressive urethral dilation in 22 client-owned male horses undergoing perineal urethrotomy (PU) for cystolith removal. Medical records of horses undergoing PU and urethral dilation for treatment of cystolithiasis were reviewed. Dilation of the pelvic urethra was performed following PU and using customized dilators with the same length (30cm) and with various outer diameters (25 to 45mm). Analyzed data included: signalment, cystolith size, renal ultrasound findings, method used for cystolith removal, diameter of urethral dilators, intra- and post-operative complications, and hospitalization time. Cystolith size ranged between 37mm and 90mm. Dilation of the pelvic urethra was as follows: 35mm (n=8), 25mm (n=6), 39mm (n=3), 33mm (n=2), 28mm (n=2) and 45mm (n=1). In 6 cases, the cystolith was removed without fragmentation. In the remaining 16 horses, lithotripsy was performed with forceps (n=9) or a pneumatic scaler (n=7). In 15 horses a retrieval device was used to aid in calculi removal. Hospitalization time ranged between 1 and 5 days. Intra-operative complications occurred in one horse. No post-operative complications were recorded. Follow-up information was available for 21 horses (range 1-8 years). Urethral dilation via PU may be a viable option for cystolith removal in male horses.

    Abstract Two mares, aged 15 and 21 years, were examined because of urinary incontinence, intermittent hematuria, and urine scalding. On admission of both horses, physical parameters were within normal limits and urine scalding of the skin at the ventral perineum was noted. Transrectal palpation and cystoscopy revealed a large type I cystolith (>10 cm) with associated hyperemia and focal ulceration of the bladder mucosa. In horse 1, hemogram, serum biochemical analysis, and renal ultrasound were not performed because of owner finances. In horse 2, results from hematological and serum biochemical analysis were unremarkable and renal ultrasonography did not reveal any abnormalities. Pneumatic impact lithotripsy in a laparoscopic retrieval pouch was performed under cystoscopic guidance after caudal epidural anesthesia, with the horses standing and under sedation. A laparoscopic retrieval device was passed alongside a flexible endoscope into the urinary bladder and the cystolith was manipulated into the pouch. A customized single stainless-steel rod scaler attached to an air compressor was used for fragmentation of the cystolith contained within the retrieval pouch. Lithotripsy time was 42 minutes for horse 1 and 31 minutes for horse 2. Both horses were released from hospital the day of surgery. Both horses were continent and voided normal streams of urine for the duration of the follow-up periods of 27 and 19 months for horse 1 and horse 2, respectively. Pneumatic impact lithotripsy in a laparoscopic retrieval pouch provided a time-efficient and minimally invasive surgical treatment option for removal of large cystoliths in mares.

    Abstract The major objective of this study was to describe the use of morcellation for standing laparoscopic cryptorchidectomy in 30 client-owned horses. A second objective was to describe a laparoscopic-assisted standing scrotal technique for removal of a descended testis in unilateral cryptorchids. Morcellation for extraction of abdominal testes is effective, efficient, and well-tolerated. Morcellation enabled safe and straightforward extraction of testes from the abdomen through an approximately 13- to 20-mm incision using a 2-portal technique. No incisional or morcellator-related complications occurred. Our laparoscopic-assisted standing scrotal technique for removal of a descended testis in unilateral cryptorchids entails intra-abdominal sealing and transection of the spermatic cord under laparoscopic viewing and subsequent removal of the testis through a scrotal incision. This technique enabled the surgeon to confirm hemostasis after transection of the spermatic cord and allowed tension-free removal of the descended testis. No intra-operative or incisional complications were encountered.

    Abstract Soft tissue swelling located in the intermandibular space is very common in horses and presents a significant diagnostic challenge. Although the possible etiologies of intermandibular swelling are many, dermoid cysts are rarely included within the differential diagnoses list. This may be due to their low prevalence and to the lack of English written literature reporting dermoid cysts in this location in horses. This is the first report describing the clinical signs, diagnosis, and management of a dermoid cyst arising in the intermandibular space of a Thoroughbred horse. In this case, an enlarging soft tissue mass located in the intermandibular space was diagnosed as a dermoid cyst following complete subcutaneous surgical excision and histopathology.
