Sussex

Spiral/cork-screw penis

24

What surgery can be done to correct a rainbow penis (penis that bends down when erect)?

A

Fascia latta transplant

Stips parallel to eachother around the penis

25
Q

Penile anesthesia may be achieved in bulls by:
A. Dorsal nerve block
B. Pudendal nerve block
C. Epidural block
D. Superficial inguinal nerve block
E. A and B

F. B and C

G. A and D

A

E. A and B

26
Q

What causes erection failure? What can be done to confirm this condition?

A

“Leakage” of corpus cavernosum

Contrast cavernosography

27
Q

What is the prediliction site for penile hematoma formation in bulls?

A

Distal part of sigmoid flexure - dorsal or dorsolateral

28
Q

What is the limit in penile hematoma size for conservative management?

A

15cm

29
Q

What are common complications with penile hematomas?

A

Abscess formation

Long term inflammation causes fibrosis of connective tissue causing layers to stick to eachother

30

b. Ventral
c. Near the tip of the penis
d. Proximal to the sigmoid flexure

A

a. Dorsolateral

Distal to sigmoid

31
Q

What is the prognosis for a young bull with vesiculitis?

A

Good

Recover spontaneously

32
Q

What is the prognosis for a old bull with vesiculitis? Treatment?

A

Poor

Vesiculectomy

33
Q

Involvement of what other structure in a bull with vesciculitis makes him a poor candidate for vesiculectomy?

A

Ampullae

34
Q

Where is the most common site for cryptorchidism in bulls?

A

Next to the penis

35
Q

A rectal tear is a potentially catastrophic event in ______.

A

Horses

36
Q

What is the most common cause of rectal tears in horses?

a. Fingers penetrating the mucosa on rectal palpation
b. Strainging/peristalsis against the arm/hand on rectal palpation
c. Spontaneous
d. Tenesmus

A

b. Strainging/peristalsis against the arm/hand on rectal palpation

37
Q

T/F: Most rectal tears occur ventrally.

A

False, dorsally

38
Q

A small dose (60mg) of _____ can be used to help prevent rectal tears.

A

Buscopan (Butylscopolamine)

39
Q

When can spontaneous rectal tears occur in mare?

A

Post-foaling

  • Pressure of baby against pelvis crushes the rectum and tears it against the brim of the pelvis*
  • Think rectal tear if mare develops acute extreme colic post-partum*
40
Q

What can you give to stop rectal contractions?

A

Epidural

Xylazine

Butorphanol

Buscopan

Lidocaine enema or gel

41
Q

What are the grades of rectal tears?

A

I

II

IIIa

IIIb

IV

42
Q

What can be done to prevent aspiration of foreign material into the body via a rectal tear?

A

Keep horse standing

43
Q

Most rectal tears associated with transrectal palpation in horses are

a. Ventral
b. Dorsal
c. Any location

A

b. Dorsal

44
Q

What are the 3 options for surgical repair of a rectal tear?

A

45
Q

A temporary indwelling rectal liner should be secured _____ to the tear.

A

Oral/ upstream

46
Q

How is cranial movement of an indwelling rectal sleeve prevented?

A

Q

Why is a loop-colostomy preferred to an end-colostomy?

A

Easier to reverse
