Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old male Beagle and a 7-year-old female Labrador were both treated for inflammatory polyps in their bladders. The veterinarians used a minimally invasive technique called laparoscopic-assisted cystoscopy to remove the polyps, which allowed for a thorough examination of the bladder with minimal injury. In the Beagle's case, a bladder stone was also removed, and liver biopsies were taken. Both dogs recovered well after the procedure, and the technique helped ensure a clear surgical outcome with less risk of complications.

Abstract
Inflammatory polyps in the urinary bladder of two dogs were removed via laparoscopic-assisted cystoscopy. In addition, one dog had a calculus removed and liver biopsies taken using the same two trocar sites. The laparoscopic-assisted cystoscopic technique provided clear surgical margins and permitted a thorough examination of the inside of the bladder and urethra. The technique was minimally invasive, produced little abdominal injury, and limited urine contamination of the abdomen.
