A 13-y-old, multiparous female black-crested mangabey (Lophocebus aterrimus) underwent surgical treatment for chronically recurring rectal prolapse by laparotomy and subsequent colopexy. Initially, a laparoscopic approach was attempted but was converted to an open approach after intraabdominal adhesions were noted. The colopexy was performed through a ventral midline incision, with no complications intraoperatively or postoperatively. The predisposing factors responsible for the development of this condition likely were related to pelvic floor weakness due to multiple past pregnancies. Transport-associated stressors likely contributed to the acute worsening of this patient's condition. Rectal prolapse is a common condition in laboratory-housed NHP. This case report describes an effective surgical treatment for recurring or otherwise nonreducible rectal prolapse in these species.
一只13岁、经产的雌性黑冠白睑猴(Lophocebus aterrimus)因慢性复发性直肠脱垂接受了剖腹术及随后的结肠固定术手术治疗。最初尝试了腹腔镜手术,但在发现腹腔内粘连后改为开放手术。结肠固定术通过腹正中切口进行,术中及术后均无并发症。导致这种情况发生的易感因素可能与既往多次妊娠导致的盆底无力有关。与运输相关的应激源可能促使该患者病情急性恶化。直肠脱垂在圈养的非人灵长类动物中是一种常见病症。本病例报告描述了针对这些物种复发性或其他不可复位性直肠脱垂的一种有效手术治疗方法。
