RVC Clinical Theatre 3
When you find uroliths, it is tempting to jump into a cystotomy and get them out! But we now have more tools than ever before to help us predict urolith composition before we remove them and send them for analysis! Knowing what the stone type is before you pick up your scalpel will help you avoid unnecessary surgeries, be better briefed on the options for management and even "fix" some patients in one go. Join this session to gain confidence in urolith prediction and understand the optimal management strategies for each common stone type in dogs and cats.
