title: Circumcostal cloacapexy in a python.
abstract: A chronic cloacal prolapse in an Indian python was repaired by modification of a cloacapexy technique. After isolation of the cloaca, stay sutures were placed through the lumen of the cloaca and through the musculature of the body wall, incorporating a rib within the pexy.
