“…The urinary bladder can be sutured by a variety of double‐layer techniques, including either a simple continuous suture pattern followed by an inverting suture pattern or 2 layers of inverting suture patterns. The most common inverting suture patterns used are either a Cushing or a Lembert . Although a double‐layer suture pattern is considered the gold standard in horses, the use of single‐layer suture has been reported in calves …”

“…Megavesica associated with umbilical hernia has been reported in foals (Toth et al., 2011). Performing a partial cystectomy of the apex is an effective treatment that enables the urinary bladder to function normally and is considered the recommended procedure (Rijkenhuizen, 2012).…”

SummaryA 6‐week‐old male Shetland pony was presented with pollakiuria and a scrotal mass. The diagnostic procedures conducted included a thorough clinical examination, external palpation, a scrotal ultrasonographic examination and urinary catheterisation. These revealed an indirect herniation of the urinary bladder into the tunica vaginalis. Subsequently, the case was managed surgically with a partial cystectomy through an inguinal approach. Bilateral castration was performed with an additional closure of the superficial inguinal ring. Five months post‐surgery, a routine telephone questionnaire highlighted no postoperative concerns. Gross examination of the inguinal region revealed no abnormalities and the foal was maturing as expected.

“…Megavesica is another cause of abdominal enlargement and stranguria, but not uroperitoneum, although it is speculated that some cases of bladder rupture occur secondary to undetected megavesica. 61,62 Foals with this syndrome of bladder atony and enlargement have been reported, but the cause is not understood. Urine dribbles from the urethra either passively or during straining, and ultrasound reveals a grossly dilated but intact bladder distended with urine.…”

Diagnostic imaging can substantially augment physical examination findings in neonatal foals. Used in combination with radiography or as a stand-alone imaging modality, ultrasound evaluation of the thoracic and abdominal body cavities can be a high-yield diagnostic undertaking. Many of the conditions that afflict neonatal foals are highly amenable to sonographic interrogation, including pneumonia and other changes in the lungs associated with sepsis, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction, and prematurity; colic arising from medical and surgical causes; and urinary tract disorders. Sonographic imaging is not affected by intracavitary fluid accumulation and reveals abnormalities of soft tissue and bony origin.
