Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/prefix/7158Chelonians are members of the class Reptilia, subclass Anapsida, and order Chelonia (Cubas et al., 2014), and they can be divided into two suborders: Cryptodira and Pleurodira (Marder, 2019). The species Chelonoidis denticulata, commonly known as the yellow-footed tortoise or jabuti-tinga, belongs to the suborder Cryptodira and is characterized by yellowish scales. These animals are ectothermic and their main feature is the presence of a ventral plastron and a vertebral column attached to the dorsal carapace (Hickman, et al., 2008). Reproductive problems are common in reptiles kept in captivity, including cloacal prolapse and follicular stasis. Cloacal prolapse consists of the displacement and exposure of the internal tissues of the cloaca outside their anatomical position, while follicular stasis refers to the retention of follicles in the ovaries without progression to ovulation, which may result in follicular atresia (Chitty, 2013). Both conditions affect the animal's reproductive system and quality of life. This paper reports the case of an adult female Chelonoidis denticulata admitted to the Wildlife Veterinary Hospital of the Federal University of Pará (HVSAS - UFPA), presenting recurrent rectal prolapse. During the hospitalization period, imaging exams allowed the identification and diagnosis of follicular stasis, leading to the need for surgical intervention to correct the condition. After undergoing two surgical procedures and staying hospitalized for 10 months, the patient is now cured and has been discharged from the hospital.Acesso AbertoCirurgia veterináriaRépteisEstase folicularAnaimais silvestresCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::MEDICINA VETERINARIA::CLINICA E CIRURGIA ANIMAL::TECNICA CIRURGICA ANIMALTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
