Το ζώο προσκομίστηκε με ιστορικό χρόνιας και σοβαρής ακράτειας ούρου λογω ανεπάρκειας του σφικτηριακού μηχανισμού, μη ανταποκρινόμενης σε φαρμακευτική αγωγή. Ο τεχνητός σφικτήρας απαρτίζεται απο τη περιχειρίδα (cuff) η οποία εφαρμόζεται στη πυελική μοίρα της ουρήθρας και τη βαλβίδα ρύθμισης (τύμπανο) η οποία τοποθετείτε υποδόρια στη βουβωνική χώρα και ρυθμίζει το βαθμό τάσης του τεχνητού σφικτήρα στην ουρήθρα. Η ανάκτηση της εγκράτειας επανήλθε πλήρως την επόμενη μέρα του χειρουργείου. Λογω του υψηλού ποσοστού επιτυχίας και των σχετικά χαμηλών επιπλοκών, η αντιμετωπιση της ακράτειας ουρου με εμφύτευση τεχνητού σφικτήρα θεωρείται πλέον η τεχνική επιλογής στις περιπτώσεις που η φαρμακευτική αγωγή δεν ειναι επιθυμητή ή αποτυγχάνει.

Megacolon is a consequence of long- standing constipation and is considered to be the end stage of large bowel dysfunction due to a permanent loss of colonic structure and function.Due to the fact that megacolon is associated with high morbidity and because conservative treatment gives only temporary relief, many owners elect euthanasia for their pet rather than chronic ineffective medical management with luxatives and enemas.The main goal of the surgery is to improve the quality of life of the patient by the surgical removal of the diseased large bowel.

German Shepherd with a damaged paw pad after a vehicular trauma.The paw pads of dogs are specialized skin structures which provide cushioning, abrasion resistance, and traction. Loss of pad tissue, despite an otherwise normal limb, can result in complete loss of limb function.Cats and small dogs that live indoors and walk on soft surfaces may function well with no pads, but in this case patient was a large dog which lived outside, and therefore required reconstruction and paw salvage of the right central back leg pad.

Feline corneal sequestration is a painful corneal disease due to the development of an opaque, dark brown to black plaque on the cornea which is a dead piece of corneal tissue. The sequestra penetrates into the corneal tissue and it can be removed surgically (Keratectomy) with the use of an operating microscope.A conjuctival flap is used to cover the surgical site for a few weeks to strengthen the cornea in that area and hasten healing.

A full thickness skin grafting is a procedure that a free piece of skin is removed from an area of the body (donor site) and is transplanted into another area (recipient site) to cover a defect. Skin grafts are often employed after serious injuries or tumour removal when some of the body's skin is damaged, especially in the distal extremities.

Patella luxation (floating or dislocated kneecap) is a common condition that the kneecap is dislocating and slips out of its normal position. There are 4 grades described according to the time the kneecap spends in the abnormal position. Patients are presented with a history of intermittent limping in the back leg with a characteristic sudden carrying of the limb up for a few steps ("skip") and then using it again.

The cruciate ligament is one of the most important stabilizing structures of the knee joint. Rupture of this ligament results in rear limb dysfunction, pain and eventually arthritis. Treatment is surgical. There is a variety of surgical treatments that we offer and they are based on patient's breed, size, age and family budget.TTA (Tibial Tuberosity Advancement) is currently considered the best procedure for the treatment of cruciate ligament tears. The objective of the TTA is to change the mechanics of the joint and therefore provide stability without compromising joint congruency.
