This study was performed on 12 dogs, divided in two Groups (A and B) placing six animals in each randomly to determine the best suturing technique from single layer inverting and double layer inverting suture techniques for cystotomy.. In group-A the cystotomy incision was closed with single layer inverting suturing technique, while in group-B the bladder wound was closed with double layer inverting suturing technique in which a simple continuous pattern was followed by cushing suturing pattern. Both techniques were evaluated by ultrasonographic examination and urine anlaysis. Results revealed more urine retention in group-A as compared to group-B. While more number of uric acid crystals were seen in group-B than group-A post operatively. It was concluded that double layer inverting suture technique significantly decrease bladder intraluminal diameter which result in frequent urination and less residual urine volume, also it showed that nidus formation can lead to accumulation of uric acid crystals in urinary bladder after cystotomy
