Today, in the work of a veterinarian, patients with foreign bodies that penetrate the gastrointestinal tract are not uncommon. This problem deserves special attention, as it leads to serious complications. When choosing the tactics of treating patients with foreign bodies, namely, when a foreign body is in the gastrointestinal tract, the choice of conservative or surgical treatment depends on many factors: localization, size, number of foreign bodies, their shape, etc.One of the factors in favor of surgical treatment is the size of the foreign body, as well as its location. The article presents material on trauma to the gastrointestinal tract and its obstruction when foreign objects are swallowed by pets. To make an accurate diagnosis and exclude similar pathologies, diagnostic studies were carried out - X-ray and ultrasound diagnostics, analysis of hematological parameters. Ultrasound diagnostics revealed a thickened wall of the ileum, in the lumen of which was the contents. Based on the diagnostic measures, a laparotomy was performed, during which inflammatory processes were detected in the mesentery, lymph nodes, the ileocecal valve area and in the ileum filled with fodder masses with fragments of foreign bodies protruding to the surface. During laparotomy, overgrowth of the ileocecal valve was visualized, which was the rationale for its resection. But due to the duration of exposure of a foreign object to the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding tissues, irreversible changes occurred in the animal's body, which led to irreversible disorders. |
