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.

10세령의 중성화된 암컷 시츄가 하부 복부의 왼쪽 부분의 종창으로 인해 건국대학교 수의과대학 부속동물병원에 내원하였다. 축주는 본원에 내원하기 두달전에 환축의 하부 복부의 종창과 촉진되는 덩어리를 확인하였다. 환축을 방사선과 초음파검사를 실시하고, 수술 중 방광과 소장 사이에 있는 복강내 gossypiboma로 인해 복강내 유착이 심한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 gossypiboma를 복강내에서 제거되었지만, 복막을 수복하기에 결손이 커서 polypropylene mesh를 이용하였다. 수술 후 하부 복부의 종창 등은 확인할 수 없었으며, 6개월동안 아무런 합병증이 발견되지 않았다.
