Sub-total cystectomy in a Santa Gertrudis bull.
A Santa Gertrudis bull developed hydroperitoneum due to multiple perforating lesions of the ventral urinary bladder wall. It was believed that the urinary bladder was beyond repair, so a sub-total cystectomy was performed in order to extirpate as much of this organ as possible. An uneventful recovery followed with fertility and libido unaffected.
