  • Title: Surgical correction of an acquired vaginal stricture in a llama, using a carbon-dioxide laser.
    Author: Bennett J, Kennel A, Stanhope CR.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1998 May 01; 212(9):1436-7. PubMed ID: 9589132.
    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.
