Study Notes
Surgical Technique
- When draping, ensure the drape extends halfway to the xiphoid.
- The goal is to free ligaments further from the ovary to exteriorize it.
- Employ a modified 3-clamp technique if the pedicle is short.
- Triple clamp the pedicle; if the pedicle is short, place two clamps on the pedicle below the ovary and one above.
- Ligate below and between the bottom two clamps, and cut above the second clamp.
- Ligate the uterus and uterine arteries and veins with encircling and transfixing-encircling sutures.
Ovariectomy
- Ovariectomy is surgical removal of ovaries.
Feline Neuter Techniques
- When performing an overhand technique, ensure the point is down at first.
Canine Neuter
- Break down the scrotal ligament, and flatten the cord between index finger to separate the vessels.
- Ensure that "window into spermatic cord" is closer to circumferential when ligating.
- Ligate vas deferens and vascular cord individually.
Scrotal Ablation
- The removal of the scrotum may require external rectus resection if deep enough.
- The "excision" should be slightly not perfectly straight.
Ovarian Remnant Syndrome
- Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) maintains pregnancy during the procedure.
Brachycephalic Airway Syndrome
- Laryngeal collapse is different than laryngeal paralysis.
- It is an aspect of brachycephalic syndrome, and can be severe.
Laryngeal paralysis
- Laryngeal paralysis prevents complete or partial failure of arytenoid cartilage and vocal folds to Abduct during inspiration.
- Affected dogs have laryngeal cartilages in the paramedian position, and they do not abduct during inspiration.
- The cricoid is sutured to the arytenoid cartilage together and suturing around the ET Tube during correction
Pyometra
- Pyometra may sometimes require resecting external rectus sheath if deep enough.
Prostatic Biopsy
- A laparoscopic technique can be employed to perform a prostatic biopsy.
