Oviductal Impaction in Three Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus): A Case Report and Systematic Review

Abstract

Three cases of oviductal impaction budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) caused by torsion and egg binding oviduct are described in this study. In two birds, egg bound diagnosis could be made by radiography and performed manuel trans cloacal removing under general anesthesia. Exploratory coeletomy was performed in one bird with salpingitis and tortion. Clinical findings, diagnostic method, treatment and results of three cases are presented. Reproductive tract diseases are common in avian practice, especially among female birds. We conducted a systematic review of the case report and case series on oviductal impaction in birds In three major databases, relevant articles published in 1980–2025 were identified. Most information on studies was recorded in India. Data from 27 patients presented as cases in 21 different studies were evaluated. This study species of birds, methods, treatments, and prognose described in the literature about oviductal impaction in birds performing a systematic review and is intended to be a reference material for students, researchers, and clinicians.
