A su vez, estos datos fueron relacionados con signos clínicos e información de reseña y anamnesis de las pacientes para poder emitir una aproximación diagnóstica y de esta manera determinar la casuística de las distintas patologías en este período de tiempo y su relación con edad, peso, y estado reproductivo. Se determinó que de 6010 perras que consultaron en el hospital, a 2288 se les realizó ecografía y 299 tuvieron hallazgos compatibles con: piómetra, otras colectas uterinas (mucómetra, hidrómetra, hemómetra), hiperplasia endometrial quística, tumor de útero, patologías de muñón uterino, quiste ovárico/síndrome de ovario remanente o tumor ovárico. La patología que más se registró fue la piómetra con un 52,8%, seguida de quiste ovárico/ovario remanente con un 26,4% e hiperplasia endometrial quística con un 22,4%, luego en menor proporción por colecta uterina con un 16,7% y masa uterina, patologías de muñón uterino y masa ovárica representada con un 2,7% cada una. Asimismo, se estableció una fuerte relación de estas patologías con el estado reproductivo, encontrándose la mayoría de las mismas en perras enteras, se observó que se presentaban con mayor frecuencia en perras de más de 5 años, y no se pudo determinar una asociación con el peso.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: In the present retrospective study, we sought to establish the frequency of occurrence in non-pregnant bitches of echographic findings compatible with pathologies of the uterus and ovaries between 2011 and 2017 in the Imaging Service of the Small Animal Hospital of the Facultad de Veterinaria - Universidad de la República, Uruguay. In turn, these data were related to clinical signs, review information and anamnesis of the patients to be able to issue a diagnostic approach. In this way, the casuistry of the different pathologies in this period of time and their relationship was determined with age, weight, and reproductive status. It was determined that out of 6010 bitches taken to the hospital, 2288 had an ultrasound study and 299 had findings compatible with: pyometra, other uterine collections (mucometer, hydrometer, hemometer), cystic endometrial hyperplasia, uterus tumor, pathologies of uterine stump, ovarian cyst / ovarian remnant syndrome or ovarian tumor. The pathology that was most recorded was pyometra with 52.8%, followed by ovarian cysts / ovarian remnant with 26.4% and cystic endometrial hyperplasia with 22.4%, followed in lesser proportion by uterine collection with a 16.7% and uterine mass, pathologies of uterine stump and ovarian mass represented with 2.7% each one. Likewise, a strong relationship between these pathologies was established with reproductive status, finding most of them in not neutered bitches, it was observed that they occurred more frequently in bitches over 5 years old, and an association with weight could not be determined.]]></p></abstract>
