Abstract
Two cases of surgical fenestration combined with omentalization for canine renal cysts using laparotomy and laparoscopy are described. After surgery, the cystic lesions gradually diminished in size, and a complete regression was confirmed in Case 2 by ultrasonography. The dogs maintained good condition without clinical signs of renal compromise for 14 months (Case 1) and 24 months (Case 2). Omentalization is a simple and effective procedure for canine renal cysts that conserves the remaining parenchyma and can be performed by a laparoscopic approach.
