Abstract

Recto-cutaneous fistulas, which are common in humans, rarely occur in companion animals. In this case report, we aimed to provide information to our colleagues about the diagnosis and treatment of recto-cutaneous fistula in a cat. A one and a half months old British shorthair kitten, weighing 600 g, was brought to Afyon Kocatepe University Veterinary Health Application and Research Center Surgery Clinic by its owner because of an open wound on the side of the tail for a week, and feces coming from this wound. Recto-cutaneous fistula was diagnosed on clinical examination. Under general anesthesia, the defect was sutured with simple pattern. Since the skin sutures were opened, the wound was treated with rifamiycine, nitrofurazone ointment and bephanthene cream after irrigation with rivanol %0.1. In conclusion, recto-cutaneous fistula, which is the most important complication of rectal perforation for any reason, is rarely seen in cats and dogs. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are important for rapid recovery.

Abstract

İnsanlarda sıklıkla görülen rektokutanöz fistüller, evcil hayvanlarda nadiren ortaya çıkar. Bu olgu sunumunda, yavru bir kedide karşılaşın rektokutanöz fistül olgusunun tanı ve tedavisi hakkında klinisyen meslektaşlarımıza bilgi vermek amaçlanmıştır. Biritish shorthair ırkı 1,5 aylık 600 gr ağrılığındaki bir kedi, kuyruğunun yanında içinden dışkı gelen bir yara şikayetiyle Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Veteriner Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezine getirildi. Klinik muayene yapılarak rektokunatöz fistül tanısı konuldu. Genel anestezi altında rektumdaki defekt belirlendi ve basit ayrı dikiş uygulaması yapılarak kapatıldı. Deri dikişleri açıldığı için %0,1’lik rivanol ile irrigasyon sağlandıktan sonra rifamisin ampul, furasin pomad ve bepanten krem ile yara tedavisi yapıldı. Sonuç olarak, herhangi bir sebeple oluşan rektum perforasyonunun en önemli komplikasyonu olan rektokutanöz fistül kedi ve köpeklerde nadiren görülen bir durumdur. Doğru teşhis ve tedavi iyileşmenin hızlı şekillenmesinde önemlidir.
