Özet
A 4-year-old female tabby cat, weighing 4.2 kg, was presented to the Dicle University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Surgery Department with a complaint of a swelling in the left dorsolateral abdominal region. Upon examination, a painless, walnut-sized swelling, palpable in the left dorsolateral abdominal region, was identified. According to the anamnesis and previous radiographic images available from the owner, this swelling had developed a year ago following a fall from a high place. Detailed clinical and radiographic examinations revealed that the cat had undergone osteosynthesis with cerclage wire in the left corpus ileum region after falling from the fifth floor at a private clinic a year ago. The swelling was determined to be a herniated left kidney. Based on physiological and laboratory assessments indicating stability, an operative repair was planned. A skin incision was made over the mass, followed by careful dissection of the subcutaneous connective tissue, revealing the herniated kidney. After confirming the absence of strangulation through macroscopic evaluation, the kidney was repositioned. The surgical site was closed with Halsted sutures, and the procedure was completed with appropriate conventional methods. In conclusion, kidney herniation in abdominal dorsolateral hernias is a rare condition. Although various surgical approaches have been described for this region, long-term follow-up showed that the case healed successfully with the chosen method. This case report aims to inform colleagues about the importance of carefully considering abdominal hernias resulting from blunt trauma in clinical practice.
