Modern methods of visual diagnosis of the reminant ovary in small pets

Abstract

This article presents the results of visual research methods used to diagnose the «Reminant ovary» in small domestic animals, in order to determine the most effective for making this diagnosis. In cases when, during surgical interventions, such as ovariohistectomy and ovariectomy, the ovary is not correctly removed and a part of it remains in the animal's body, about a year after the surgical operation, a number of specific clinical signs arise indicating the possible presence of a reminant ovary in small pets. The study of each animal began with the collection of anamnesis and general clinical examination. In the presence of clinical signs of the presence of a reminant ovary in the body of a small pet, various combinations of visual diagnostic studies were performed, which included ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, CT of the abdominal cavity, laparoscopic diagnostics and histological examination. As a result of the conducted research, we have identified the most effective methods of visual diagnostics for the diagnosis of a «Reminant ovary», which will help the veterinarian in his practice to quickly and accurately make the correct diagnosis and prescribe timely treatment.
