The digestive systems of ostriches are different from other birds and pika can be seen frequently in these birds. In this case report, it was aimed to emphasize the importance of knowing the anatomy of the digestive system and endoscopy in the examination of the digestive system in ostriches. The case was caused by a 2-year-old African ostrich brought to Dicle University Surgery clinics with the complaint of chronic weight loss and the possibility of swallowing a knife. In the clinical, radiological and endoscopic examination, an ostrich with a foreign body in the stomach was operated. A large number of foreign bodies were removed in his ventriculus. The area was closed with sutures appropriate to the technique. The ostrich died 1 day after discharge. As a result, endoscopy is a reliable diagnostic method in foreign body diagnosis in ostriches, and anatomy knowledge is important both in endoscopic examination of the digestive system and in the operative approach.

Bir Deve Kuşu Ventrikulusunda Yabancı Cisimlerin Endoskopik Tanısı ve Ventrikulostomi

Öz

Deve kuşlarının sindirim sistemleri diğer kuşlardan farklıdır ve bu kuşlarda pika sıklıkla görülebilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda deve kuşlarında sindirim sisteminin anatomisinin bilinmesinin ve sindirim sistemi muayenesinde endoskopinin önemini vurgulamak amaçlandı. Olguyu kronik zayıflama şikayeti ve bıçak yutabilme ihtimali ile Dicle Üniversitesi Cerrahi kliniklerine getirilen 2 yaşlı Afrika deve kuşu oluşturdu. Yapılan klinik, radyolojik ve endoskopik muayenede midede yabancı cisim bulunan deve kuşu ameliyata alındı. Ventrikulusunda çok sayıda yabancı cisim çıkarıldı. Bölge tekniğine uygun dikişlerle kapatıldı. Deve kuşu taburcu edildikten 1 gün sonra ex oldu. Sonuç olarak deve kuşlarında yabancı cisim teşhisinde endoskopi güvenilir bir teşhis yöntemidir ve gerek sindirim sisteminin endoskopik muayenesinde gerekse operatif yaklaşımda anatomi bilgisi önemlidir.
