Surgery on the urogenital is a daily procedure as many small animals are neutered, and large animals males are castrated frequently. Because these are elective procedures, the patients are often healthy and so normal protocols can be used. However, there can often be non routine reasons to perform surgery on the urogenital tract, such as pyometra or emergency caesarean sections. These procedures in themself provide additional risks to anaesthestising patients, but also other disease processes can affect anaesthesia in patients, for example renal failure. | Surgery on the urogenital is a daily procedure as many small animals are neutered, and large animals males are castrated frequently.
