Abstract

A 15-month-old, castrated male domestic short-hair cat presented with bilateral hydronephrosis. An upper urinary tract obstruction was suspected. An exploratory laparotomy revealed bilateral compression of the ureters by the deferent ducts near the lateral vesical folds, where each of the deferent ducts crosses the respective ureter. Strong tension was palpated on both deferent ducts and seemed to be the cause of the ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis. Both deferent ducts were resected, and nephrectomy was performed for the right kidney, which was severely hydronephrotic. At the 3-month postsurgical follow-up, the hydronephrosis in the left kidney had resolved, and the cat was generally in good condition.
