Kidney Stone Removal Surgery for a 9-Year-Old Poodle with Japanese Veterinarians
For senior dogs, every surgical procedure requires careful consideration and a thorough assessment based on the patient’s overall health and clinical condition.
The patient featured in this video is a 9-year-old Poodle who was diagnosed with a kidney stone following veterinary examination and diagnostic testing. Based on the patient’s condition, the veterinary team evaluated the case and determined that surgical removal of the stone was an appropriate treatment option.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Inoue and Dr. Niimi. Throughout the procedure—from general anesthesia and surgical removal of the kidney stone to intraoperative monitoring—the patient’s vital signs and overall condition were closely monitored.
After the kidney stone was successfully removed, the patient continued to be monitored during anesthetic recovery and received appropriate postoperative care.
For conditions requiring surgical intervention, a thorough preoperative health assessment, careful evaluation of the patient’s condition, and continuous intraoperative monitoring are essential steps in determining an appropriate treatment approach for each individual patient.
