The Patient
 6 month old intact female Labrador Retriever

 Day and night
 Urine culture at referring veterinarian: urinary tract

Why Urinary Incontinence?
 Ectopic Ureter: inserts distally to the trigone of the
bladder

Bladder
Internal urethral sphincter

Abnormal Embryologic Development
 Bladder and urethra arise
from urogenital sinus
 Ureters develop from
ureteral bud (metanephric
diverticulum) off
mesonephric duct
 Urogenital sinus enlarges,
ureters migrate caudally
→ ureter incorporated
into sinus wall → Trigone
 Caudal migration of
ureter → Ectopic ureter

Ectopic Ureters
 Intramural vs
Extramural

Ectopic Ureters
 >95% intramural
 More common in female dogs, median age of
diagnosis 6-10 months
Treatment
 Treatment options:
 Cystoscopic –guided laser ablation of ectopic ureters (CLAEU)
 Surgery
 Medical management

Why Cystoscopic-Guided Laser Ablation?
 Similar success rate to surgery
 Eliminates need for abdominal surgery and its risks
 Risks of procedure: anesthesia, UTI, perforation of
bladder/urethra/ureter, iatrogenic stricture
formation, bleeding
 Limits of procedure: intramural only; specialized
equipment, steep learning curve
Prognosis
 Guarded-poor prognosis
 25-58% success rate with surgery or CLA-EU
 Success: partial or complete resolution of urinary incontinence
 Half of patients that don’t respond to surgery, may respond to
medical management
Back to Our Patient
 Owners elected laser ablation therapy if possible
 Patient admitted into hospital for cystoscopy +/-
laser ablation following morning
Cystoscopic-Guided Laser Ablation
dorsal
 Patient was
*left ectopic ureter
anesthetized, clipped
and prepped for
cystoscopy
 Cystoscope was passed
retrograde through the
vulva and vestibule

*PPMD
**Insert image of patient’s
vestibule
At this point (in
vestibule) instead of two
openings, saw five
openings

Cystoscopic-Guided Laser Ablation
 Both ureters were intramural
 Procedure performed as previously described
 Laser pulsations used to break down membranes between
both ectopic ureters and the urethra to the level of the
bladder neck

Last but not least..
 Three of the perivulvar plaques were biopsied with a
6mm punch biopsy and submitted for histopathology
 Patient recovered uneventfully from anesthesia.
*used with permission
Post-Op Plan
 Discharged on carprofen and tramadol
 Recheck with referring veterinarian in 1 week for
repeat urine culture and sensitivity
Outcome
 3 days post-op continent!
 Urine culture negative
 Dilute urine: incidental or early kidney dysfunction?
 Recommended regular monitoring of urinalysis, blood urea nitrogen,
creatinine
 Histopathology of Skin Plaques: Moderate, multifocal,
lichenoid lymphoplasmacytic interface dermatitis


most consistent with contact dermatitis secondary to chronic urinary
incontinence
Immunohistochemical stains for papillomavirus were negative
Outcome
 Nine Months Later: Patient still doing well;
occasionally leaks when excited but owners very
happy
