Omentalização do rim no tratamento de cisto renal em cão - relato de caso

Abstract

Studies have shown that omentum has been increasingly used in surgical procedures due to its properties of preventing intra-abdominal inflammatory processes; its mobility that acts as a physical barrier, its capacity to induce neovascularization and healing, and its absorptive capacity. The objective of this work is to report the use of omentum as a biological membrane in the surgical treatment of a renal cyst with a size of approximately 2.24 x 2.21 cm in diameter in an 11-year-old ShihTzu dog, referred to the sector of surgical clinic of the Veterinary Hospital of Federal University of Uberlândia, to perform cystic drainage and total subcapsular omentalization, to fill the dead cystic space. The use of omentum as a biological membrane in the surgical treatment of renal cyst was shown to be simple and effective, revealed by the good condition presented by the animal in the immediate postoperative period and with no relapse and complications presented up to the present time.
