Abstract

A tegu (Tupinambis merianae) was submitted to excision of prolapsed recto, caused by foreign body ingestion. As anesthesic conduct was realized neuroleptoanalgesia by combination of midazolam (2 mg/kg), and butorphanol (2 mg/kg), intramuscularly, and anesthesia maintenance by isoflurane diluted in oxygen by endotracheal intubation. For excision of the prolapsed organ, were made support points on the organ’s lateral edges, resection of the same and posterior enteroanastomosis with separate simple suture, with synthetic absorbable wire. The anesthetic protocol and surgical procedures adopted proved to be safe, effective and necessary for the animal’s health.
