Abstract

The author discusses the treatment of megavesica and bladder rupture in foals with surgical intervention. He mentions the difference between the two conditions and the use of either conventional surgical methods or laparoscopy. He says that in both cases, active and passive micturition is possible. He adds that fluid losses and electrolyte imbalances must be corrected before inducing anaesthesia.
