The present study describes the successful management of fresh cases of intussusception through laparoscopic assisted hydrostatic reduction technique in 10 young dogs. After confirmation of the intussusception in caudal segment of intestine, a Foley’s catheter was inserted into the intussusceptum through rectum under laparoscopic visualization, and the intussusceptum was fixed by inflating the ballon of the catheter with normal saline. The catheter was then gradually pulled out through the rectum to relieve the intussusception. It was concluded that through hydrostatic reduction under laparoscopic visualization, fresh cases of intussusceptions without adhesions in young dogs could be relieved using Foley’s Catheter.
