Q

anatomy of the ovary

A

capsule –tunica albuginea (covered by peritoneum)ovarian bursa–double fold of peritoneum, blocked during ovulation by fimbriae of the infundibulumcortex—contains folliclesmesovarium from which arises the suspensory ligament and continuous with proper ligament and round ligament (passes thru inguinal canal)mesometrium/broad ligament

Q

what marks the junction of the peritoneum (mesosalpinx) with the mucus membrane lining of the uterine tube

A

fimbriae of the infundibulum near the opening of the ovarian bursaopening of the uterine tube into the uterine horn is called uterine osmium (tubulouterine junction–sphincter for passage of sperm and blastocysts)

Q

typical cycle stages and hormone release

A

–anestrus (low P, LH but E slowly climbs up)–proestrus (peak E, slow climb P during late proestrus, LH surge right before estrus/ovulation)–estrus (LH and E come back down, steady increase P) **cornified epithelial cells–metestrus/diestrus (steady decrease in P if no pregnancy or stays elevated if pregnant) 21-28 days of the ovarian cyclecats have a fifth stage of NONestrus during non cycling periods

Q

difference in ovulation dogs vs cats

A

cats—induced (not dependent on E) ovulators (the formation of CL requires induced ovulation and the CL stays functional for 37 days)dogs—spontaneous ovulates (dependent on E) and then P maintains CL for 60-100 d in non pregnant bitches before it regresses

Q

benefits of sterilization

A
  1. counteracts overpopulation2. decreases the likelihood of an animal being relinquished 3. may correct sexually dimorphic aggression (aggression btwn male and females in a house; NOT resolve nonsexual dimorphic behaviors)4. reduces the risk of mammary neoplasia 5. reduces the risk of pyometra and other uterine/ovarian diseases

Q

incidence of pyometra in dogs

A

25% of intact bitches require treatment for pyometra by 10 yrs of agehormonal changes (diestrus) lead to cystic endometrial hyperplasia and secondary infxn (usually under P which stimulates gland secretion, suppresses uterine contraction and decreases ability of mononuclear cells to proliferate which dampens the immune response)ECOLItx with surgery OHE led to excellent px and survival in > 90%; peritonitis present 70% (with drains)

Q

risks of timing of OHE to early

A

traditionally 6-9 mo (others 4 mo/after immunizations)shelters 6-16 weeks: riskS1. severe hypothermia— incr SA:V and less fat/vasoconstrictive reflexes, shaving/solutions2. hypoglycemia–inadequate liver stores and fx; avoid prolong fasting, give dextrose fluids3. immature liver/kidney fx–lack p450 enzymes in liver, leading to higher unbound drugs in circulation, risk side effects–need lower doses; inadequate kidney fx and low USG; inadequate RAAS system–prone to NSAID side effects4. incr demand on heart–avoid antichoinergicsIF appropriate surgery and anesthesia, prepubertal OHE does NOT carry incr risk

Q

T/Fanticholinergics are recommended in pediatrics

A

FALSEdo NOT use anticholinergics in pediatric animals bcthey lack vagal tone and brady cardia may actually be more indicative of hypoxia (supplement oxygen)neonates (< 3weeks) may benefit from anticholinergics bc CO is more related to HR

Q

T/Fprepubertal OHE is associated with incr MM

A

FALSE—not if good measures and considerations are performedIF appropriate surgery and anesthesia, prepubertal OHE does NOT carry incr riskdogs spayed at >2 yr had incr risk bc incr BW and int surgery timelong term effects of spay are independent of spay timing (no difference if spayed 7 mo vs 7 wk)

22
Q

incidence of perioperative complications following OHE

A

12 % cats19% dogs(< 20%)—incisional, hemorrhage (<3%), infection, etc**surgery time significantly associated with occurrence of complications

23
Q

hemorrhage as a complication of OHE in dogs

A

~3%in dogs weighing > 25 kg , hemorrhage was the most common complicationhemorrhage was the most common cause of death after OHE in large dogsmay come from: perirenal capsule, incomplete ligations around pedicles, and loose ligatures around pedicles

24
Q

methods to decrease risk hemorrhage

A

—strum suspensory ligament lateral to medial–avoid perirenal capsule when applying traction–correctly ID mesovarium from mesometrium to ligate appropriate ovarian pedicle—tight ligations, surgeons throw (based on TJ) and FLASH

25
Q

Trendelenburg position

A

15 degrees head down for laparoscopy

26
Q

methods for ligation during laparoscopic OE

A
  1. bipolar sealing device2. US harmonic scalpel/sealing device3. pretied loop ligature4. extracorporeal suture (and knot pusher)5. hemoclips6. electrocauterysealing devices have been associated wit bless hemorrhage and a shorter surgery time
27
Q

uterine pressures after stump sealing with bipolar sealing device

A

300 mm Hg

28
Q

T/Flong term studies have failed to show significant advantage of OHE vs OE alone unless the uterus has pathologic changes

A

trueno diff in OE vs OHE (as long as full ovary is removed, P is gone and pyometra should not occur unless exogenously administered)urinary incontinence and obesity are not significantly different for OHE vs OE

29
Q

ovarian remnant syndrome

A

– low LH indicates ovarian remnant bc spayed dogs have hi LHor–persistent hi E (> 15 pg/ml) and P (>2ng/ml)–vaginal cytology: cornified epithelium (>80%) indicates estrus (ddx: functional neoplasia, ovarian remnant, functional cysts)–cats are overrepresented 63%

30
Q

ovarian neoplasia

A

originate from germ cells, epithelial cells, or sex cord stromal cellsmets is uncommontransabdominal seeding risk—-DO NOT RECOMMEND ASPIRATION or NEEDLE BIOPSY of ovary

31
Q

type of ovarian tumor seen on rads as space occupying mass caudal to kidney with calcification

A

teratoma

32
Q

most common sex cord tumor of the ovary

A

granulosa cell tumor (50% of ovarian tumors)–produce E, P, or both–20% metestrogen may cause bone marrow suppression/aplasia and possibly irreversible pancytopeniaotherwise goo prognosis if single mass, no mets and surgically removed

33
Q

ovarian cysts

A

–functional (ovarian) or nonfunctional (incidental–periovarian)–functional cysts are lined with granulosa cells and secrete E +/- P–10-50 mm big vs 4-10 mm big preovulatory follicle –med mgmt with GnRH if valuable bitch–ovariectomy is curative

34
Q

true hermaphrodite chimera

A

XX/XY or XX/XXXY chromosomemay have testicular and ovarian tissue in seperate or the same gonadal structure female external appearance and a large clitoris or hypoplastic penisfail to exhibit estrus or a complete ovarian cyclevulvar pruritis bc of protruding clitoral tissue

35
Q

clinical signs of pyometra

A

–polyuria 70% (potential glomerular damage)—vaginal discharge 50-85%–SIRS 50-60%–high WBC, w regen left shift, hypo alb, elevations in liver enzymes, thrombocytopenia–high protein C (incr morbidity as indicated by incr hospital stay)

36
Q

T/FDO NOT OVERSEW UTERINE STUMP OF PYOMETRA

A

TRUE

37
Q

indications for medical mgmt of pyometra

A

–high breeding value–NOT systemically ill–OPEN cervix and drainingPGF2 alpha causes myometrium contraction and relaxation of the cervix (but 48 hr lag time)—systemic and local therapy reportedsystemic AB+/- transcervical uterine cannulationunknown recurrence

38
Q

primary clinical sign of cystic endometrial hyperplasia

A

failure to conceive

39
Q

differenitials for enlarged fluid filled/mixed echogenicity uterus

A

—cystic endometrial hyperplasia—hydrometra–pyometra–mucometra–hematometriasignalment, history, clinical signs, bloodwork may help ddx

40
Q

at what stage of the ovarian cycle does metritis occur

A

metritis—post partumpyometra–diestrusboth cause systemic illnessvaginal smears are NOT diagnosticfoul smelling vaginal dischargeculture and ABsurgery if retained fetus/placenta (hysterotomy or OHE)

41
Q

antibiotics safe for pregnant or nursing bitches

A

penicillinserythromycincephalosporinsclindamycin

42
Q

dystocia pathophysiology

A

maternal causes (75%): PRIMARY uterine inertia, small pelvic canal or pelvic malunionfetal causes (25%): malpositioned fetus, fetal malformation, oversize causes of primary uterine inertia: low oxytocin, large litter overstretch, small litter under stimulate, hypoCa, low prostaglandin metabolites, poor nutrition

43
Q

fetal HR

A

normal fetal HR 220- bpmif 150-180 bpm in awake dam, SEVERE FETAL DISTRESS

44
Q

medical mgmt of dystocia

A

–oxytocin after making sure bloodworm was normalCONTRAINDICATED IF…1. obstruction palpated2. fetal stress3. abdominal contracts > 30 minutes without puppy 4. failed 2 doses of oxytocin

45
Q

of bitches with dystocia, how many need a c section

A

60-65%regional anesthesia or GA w/o premed, propofol induction, light isoflurane, atropine if fetal HR is low surgery options:–OHE enbloc (fetuses should be removed within 60 sec)–hysterotomy, fetus removal, OHE–hysterotomysurvival bitches 99% and neonates 87% (brachycephalics had lower survival rates)

46
Q

neonatal rescucitation

A
  1. clear fluid from oral cavity/nostrils with suction2. vigorously rub to stimulate respiration3. DO NOT SWING (intracerebral hemorrhage)4. reverse any opiates (naloxone)5. O2 supplement (face make, intubation)6. NO ANTICHOLINERGICS (may increase oxygen demand)can give epinephrine through umbilical vein7. doxapram respiratory stimulant is no longer indicated bc increases myocardial oxygen consumption and is ineffective if hyperemic8. dried and warmed9. clean mother teats from antiseptic solution prior to nursing

T/FOHE does not influence milk production

A

TRUEOHE does not influence milk production

48
