Abstract

The cases of urolithiasis in caprines presented at the Polyclinic, of IVRI, Izatnagar from September, 2001 to April, 2002 were managed surgically. A brief history about the clinical cases, their clinical examination, urinalysis, haematobiochemical profile and acid base status was studied. The cases were surgically managed by performing excision of urethral process, urethrotomy followed by fixation of polyethylene catheter in the urethra and cystorrhaphy as per the clinical situation. The postoperative management of the cases has been discussed.
