Symphyseal distraction-osteotomy using an ulnar autograft for the treatment of pelvic canal stenosis in three cats.
Three adult cats with obstipation due to stenosis of the pelvic canal were treated by symphyseal distraction-osteotomy using an ulnar autograft. The duration of clinical signs before the surgery in the three cats was one, three and 19 months; the first two cats had no recurrence of signs after surgery, and the third had less severe and less frequent bouts of constipation.
