Abstract: Cystocentesis is a procedure widely used in small animal veterinary medicine. It consists of a urine collection method, which has the main advantage of reducing the risk of urine contamination, when compared to spontaneous collection or by passing a urogenital probe, therefore it is considered the best method for microbiological cultivation (GREGORY, 2005). To carry out this procedure, the aid of ultrasonography is recommended, to identify the exact position of the urinary bladder. In addition, it provides greater security for the veterinarian to perform the technique, thus avoiding possible complications due to erroneous perforation in the abdominal cavity, increasing the risk of reaching other organs. This summary aims to review the literature, from the Scielo platform, on the cystocentesis technique and its benefits and harms compared to other urine collection techniques. Before performing the collection, it is necessary to perform trichotomy in the abdominal region and asepsis with 70% alcohol. The technique consists of locating the urinary bladder through ultrasound, when located, puncture of the needle coupled to a syringe is performed at an oblique angle of 45º, positioned in the craniocaudal direction (RUBIN, 2002). When viewing the ultrasound image, it is possible to observe the positioning of the needle, and thus confirm whether it has entered the urinary bladder or not. The size of the needle is related to the size and weight of the animal, therefore, larger animals with more fat in the abdominal region need a larger needle to perform the technique. About the indication for this collection technique, it is recommended in cases where patients have a urethral obstruction and need to reduce bladder pressure. In addition, this technique is also indicated for laboratory analysis, as there is a reduction in urine contamination by elements present in the region of the foreskin, urethra, penis, and vulva, among others. of the collection. In addition, there is also an advantage in the passage of a urogenital probe, as this can cause injury to the lower urinary tract and lead to changes in the urine. However, its main disadvantage is the greater risk of bladder rupture when compared to collection methods (LITTLE, 2012). That said, cystocentesis is a technique that promotes obtaining urine with less risk of contamination, being the best choice for urine collection, but it requires practice for its execution, in addition to the correct choice of the needle to avoid the risk of urinary bladder rupture.
