Description

In order to obtain non-contaminated urine from dogs or cats, we devised a new technique, lateral cysitocentesis in a standing position, which is safer and more beneficial than a conventional method, midline cystocentesis in a dorsal recumbent position. Conventional cystocentesis in a dorsal recumbent position is considered to be risky, because the bladder tends to hang down directly onto the aorta and caudal vena cava, and the aorta might be penetrated accidentally during an operation. For fear of such fatal accidents, cystocentesis was often avoided as a routine urinalysis. By our new method, we could perform urinalysis of 140 dogs and 75 cats safely.
