【當貓咪不再排尿:皮下輸尿管繞道手術(SUB)如何拯救您的寵物】
🐱 12 歲的家養短毛貓 Pe Pe,因嘔吐、食慾下降及排尿困難被轉診至 VetiVa。我們的內科專家 Dr. Joshua Steinhaus 接手了這個極具挑戰性的病例。
🩺 經過詳細檢查,Dr. Joshua Steinhaus 發現Pe Pe的右側輸尿管完全阻塞,導致嚴重腎積水(尿液積聚於腎臟,引發腫脹)及腎衰竭。面對這一危急情況,Dr. Joshua 決定為 Pe Pe進行皮下輸尿管繞道術。
💊 憑藉 Dr. Joshua 的精湛技術,SUB 裝置成功植入。這套精密系統由兩根導管組成:一根置入腎臟,另一根置入膀胱,並透過皮下端口相連——功能如同人工輸尿管,使尿液繞過阻塞處、從腎臟流到膀胱。此外,Dr. Joshua 也放置了食道造口管,以確保 Pe Pe在恢復期間獲得足夠的營養與藥物。
💖 令人欣喜的是,手術後Pe Pe的腎指數恢復正常,嘔吐停止,食慾也完全恢復。現在Pe Pe已重拾健康,找回以往的活力!
☺️ SUB手術為複雜的輸尿管阻塞病例提供了創新的治療選擇。早期發現與專業治療至關重要。

【When a Cat Stops Peeing...How SUB Surgery Rescue Your Pet】
🐱Pe Pe, an 12-year-old domestic shorthair cat, was referred to VetiVa for vomiting, decreased appetite, and difficulty urinating. Our internal medicine specialist, Dr. Joshua Steinhaus, took on this challenging case.
🩺 After a thorough examination, Dr. Joshua Steinhaus discovered that Pe Pe’s right ureter was completely blocked, leading to severe hydronephrosis(A build-up of urine in the kidney, causing it to swell) and kidney failure. Facing this critical situation, Dr. Joshua decided to perform a Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass (SUB) surgery for Pe Pe.
💊With Dr. Joshua‘s precise technique, the SUB device was successfully implanted. This sophisticated system consists of two catheters: one placed in the kidney and the other in the bladder, connected via a subcutaneous port—functioning like an artificial ureter that allows urine to bypass the blockage and flow from the kidney to the bladder. Additionally, Dr. Joshua placed an esophagostomy tube to ensure Pe Pe receives adequate nutrition and medication during recovery.
💖Happily, after the surgery, Pe Pe’s kidney values returned to normal, vomiting ceased, and appetite fully resumed. Now, Pe Pe has regained health and restored its former vitality!
☺️SUB surgery provides an innovative solution for complex ureteral obstruction cases. Early detection and professional treatment are crucial.
