Abomasal and SI Dz Flashcards
The right para-lumbar fossa is always the ideal surgical approach to treat abomasal problems, such as ulcer and impaction.
F. NOT ALWAYS
The ___ of the duodenum should be systematically evaluated in case of prox- imal intestinal obstruction.
sigmoid flexure
should be considered in cases of recurrent dislocation/dilatation.
partial cecal amputatin
NSAID commonly given
flunixin meglumone or meloxicam unless there’s abomasal ulcer
what type of antibiotic is needed for abdomen
beta-lactams
G- susceptible
A key element when choosing this position is to provide enough padding for the down leg to avoid __ (seen even more frequently in hypotensive animals).
peroneal paresis - common entrapment neuropathy of the lower extremity.
The clipped area should be a least 4x the length of the incision vertically and horizontally.
twice
or ventral surgery, local anesthesia can only be ob- tained through a __ block using 2% lidocaine.
line
The most frequent problem involving the abomasum is
displacement
LDA is more frequent than RDA
t
what displacement leads to volvulus
RDA
LDAs are frequently seen after
calving
RDA is less frequent but more severe
t
erioperative antibi- otics are more often needed and justified with laparoscopy.
f. laparotomy
creates a strong adhesion between the abomasum and the body wall.
omentopexy
technique to secure abomasum in its normal location
abomasopexy
ideal surgical technique when ventral adhesion or abomasal ulcers are suspected
abomasopexy
only technique that allows exteriorization of the greater curvature of the abomasum through the incision
abomasopexy
position for abomasopexy
dorsal recumbenc
abdominal layers outer to inner
skin
SC
pectoral muscles
external sheet
internal sheet
rectus abdominis
peritoneum
how many layers is the abdominal incision closed?
3
peritoneum +internal sheet = S.C
rectus + external = S.I or cruciate
skin = cruciate
This technique can only be used with an LDA. It is commonly performed on cattle with displacement while in late gestation
Left para-lumbar fossa abomasopexy
what approach allows the surgeon to palpate the reticulum, the rumen, the spleen, the displaced abomasum, the uterus, and the left kidney.
left paralumbar approach
It is the ideal surgical approach for abomasal volvulus. and can be used for all types of displacement
Right para-lumbar fossa (omentopexy/pyloropexy)
Abdominal surgical approach for ometopexy
standard right flank approach
approach allowing for the most thorough abdominal exploration.
right flank approach
other term for omental fold
sow’s ear
suture pattern for omentopexy
SCP
pattern for retention sutures
ford interlocking
A ___ is performed when the omentum is friable, overly fat, or torn
PYLOROPEXY
