The case records of 4 cats and 1 dog with megacolon and constipation were reviewed to study the history, clinical signs, pathologic changes, and longterm results of surgical treatment. The 4 cats had idiopathic megacolon. The dog had megacolon secondary to dietary indiscretion. All animals had radiographic evidence of a large colon, which was confirmed by exploratory coeliotomy. Two of the cats and the dog had an intraoperative finding of megacecum as well. Subtotal colectomy was performed in all cases, with the ileocolic valve being removed in 3 of these cases. End-to-side anastomosis was used to restore the integrity of the bowel. All animals were treated successfully with this surgical technique, as judged by clinical response and owner satisfaction. Histologically, there were no consistent lesions to explain the cause of this disease in the cats.
回顾了4只猫和1只患有巨结肠和便秘的狗的病例记录，以研究手术治疗的病史、临床症状、病理变化和长期结果。4只猫患有特发性巨结肠。这只狗的巨结肠继发于饮食不当。所有动物的X线片均显示有大结肠，经剖腹探查得以证实。其中2只猫和这只狗在术中还发现有巨盲肠。所有病例均行结肠次全切除术，其中3例切除回盲瓣。采用端侧吻合术恢复肠道的完整性。根据临床反应和主人满意度判断，所有动物采用这种手术技术均治疗成功。组织学检查显示，猫身上没有一致的病变来解释这种疾病的病因。
