Just like the title says. Sorta.
The rDVM relieved egg-binding by collapsing the egg, after which hemorrhage was noted from the vent. The rDVM then performed a ventral midline cloacotomy (they didn't mention a coeliotomy, so I assume they went in through the vent? but doesn't make sense with the rest of the case...read on!) and sutured a tear in the cloaca.
blah blah bird doesn't get better blah blah
At referral, after medical treatment didn't work, they did perform a ventral midline coeliotomy and found one of the sutures from the cloaca repair to entrap a portion of the colon, causing GI obstruction. While cutting that suture off, the colon tore in 2 places. They repaired that with simple interrupted sutures and then sutured the serosa of the adjacent duodenum circumferentially over the colon repair.
voila! bird gets better. it's that simple...
HA! yeah, right.
