Nefrectomía Unilateral Y Cistorrafía Post-Trauma En Canino, Reporte De Caso Clínico.

Abstract

Hit-and-run trauma is a frequent veterinary emergency in small animals, where vehicular impact generates mechanical injuries that vary according to speed, vehicle mass, point of contact and size of the animal. The most common injuries include fractures of the extremities and pelvis, thoracic trauma with possible pulmonary contusion, pneumothorax or hemothorax, abdominal trauma with risk of internal bleeding or organ rupture, neurological injuries due to cranial or spinal cord impact, and skin wounds that predispose to secondary infections.Management requires a systematic protocol based on primary (ABC) and secondary evaluation, using diagnostic tools such as radiographs, abdominal and thoracic ultrasound (FAST scan), along with hematological and biochemical analysis for comprehensive care of the trauma patient. A female canine pinscher with a history of polytrauma caused by a vehicle was admitted to the veterinary clinic for emergency consultation, so it was passed to eco-fast at once evaluating the 4 quadrants where 3 of them had free liquid, so it was decided that the best option was to perform an exploratory laparotomy to evaluate the integrity of each of the organs and verify where the liquid that accumulated was coming from. This report provides valuable information on the diagnostic challenges and treatment in cases of this type of emergencies, in order to improve future clinical approaches.
