In this report surgery on the urinary bladder of an iguana is documented. Clinical signs, palpation and radiography failed to reveal the cause of the illness. During surgery a distended urinary bladder which contained an urolith 3 x 2 cm in size was found and removed. The urinary bladder was closed with a double-layered, non-perforating suture. According to the results of infrared spectroscopy, the urolith consisted of 70% dehydrated uric acid and 30% ammonium hydrogen urate. After removal of the urolith the iguana recovered within two days.
本报告记录了一只鬣蜥膀胱手术的情况。临床症状、触诊和X光检查均未发现病因。手术中发现膀胱扩张，内有一颗大小为3×2厘米的尿路结石，遂将其取出。膀胱用双层无穿孔缝线缝合。根据红外光谱分析结果，尿路结石由70%的脱水尿酸和30%的尿酸氢铵组成。取出尿路结石后，鬣蜥在两天内康复。
