Pelvic infection is a rare but well-known complication following IVF procedures with a reported incidence <1%. A case of multiple abdominal abscesses following IVF procedure was established by Tc-99m-HMPAO-labeled leukocyte scintigraphy and confirmed by laparotomy. This imaging technique should be recommended for early and precise diagnosis of pelvic infection following IVF.

One month after ovariohysterectomy, a 2-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever was evaluated because of an extensive uterine stump abscess. Clinical signs included intermittent vomiting, signs of depression, lethargy, and pollakiuria. The dog underwent abdominal surgery; the greatly enlarged uterine stump was tightly adhered to the dorsal surface of the bladder, encompassing the distal portions of the ureters and the bladder's neurovascular supply. En bloc resection of the uterine stump was not considered an acceptable treatment option because of the risk of surgical damage to and subsequent devitalization of the bladder or ureters, urinary incontinence, or urinary tract obstruction. Therefore, the diseased uterine tissue that extended cranial to the bladder was resected, and the remaining abscess cavity was lavaged and packed with omentum. The dog recovered fully from the procedure. The omentum is an effective physiologic drain; its extensive vascular and lymphatic networks absorb fluid and actively promote elimination of infection. Omentalization appears to be an option for surgical management of nonresectable uterine stump abscesses in dogs.
