Abstract: | An acquired vaginal stricture in a llama secondary to trauma from uterine torsion during gestation was repaired, using a carbon-dioxide laser. The procedure was accomplished by use of epidural anesthesia with the llama in a standing position. Repeated dilation of the vagina was required after surgery; however, the llama subsequently mated and conceived, and a male cria was delivered by cesarean section at the end of a full-term gestation. |
