Abstract

Urolithiasis is the presence of mineral concretions or urine crystals at the urinary tract. In horses, urolithiasis has a relatively low prevalence ( 0.4% to 0.5%), its presentation occurs at the level of the kidneys and the urinary bladder, the last one is the site of the greatest presentation. Most of the uroliths in horses are constituted for calcium carbonate. The diagnosis is commonly made by relating the findings of the clinical examination along with the ultrasound. Surgical resolution is the election for treatment. The patient was a 350 kg, twelve years old Colombian creole gelding referred with historical presentation of two months of pigmenturia and dysuria, to the transrectal palpation a round structure of approximately 7 cm of diameter was located in the urinary bladder, which was confirmed by ultrasound and cystoscopy, in addition, cytology of the urinary sediment was performed. The therapeutic approach was made with medical and surgical management by assisted laparoscopic approach. The aim of this case report is to describe for the first time a case of urolithiasis and its resolution by assisted laparoscopy in a Colombian Creole Horse.
