Castration steps 1-3
- Wipe scrotal injection sites with alcohol
- Inject each testicle with local anesthetic until full (20-50 mL/testicle) and check for CM paralysis
- Aseptic preparation of surgical site and surgeon
Castration steps 4-6
- Make two parallel scrotal incisions 2 cm from median raphe
- Incise into cranial portion of vaginal tunic of testicle; place finger in tunic; place Kocher forceps firmly over tunic and tail of epididymis
- Apply firm tension of tunic/testicle; use other hand to strip away connective tissue and fat covering tunic and cremaster muscle
Castration steps 7-9
- Divide cremaster from vaginal tunic; clamp with angiotensin and section with electrosurgery distal to clamp
- Expose pedicle from inside tunic; bluntly puncture mesorchium to separate into vascular and non vascular portion
- Clamp with angiotribes and ligate vascular portion and section with electrosurgery; not right at clamp - you can go over again
Castration steps 10-11
- Replace lighted vascular portion inside tunic
- Clamp and ligament tunic and section with electrosurgery preventing inside and outside world communication
Castration steps 12-13
- Repeat 5-11
- SQ closure for scrotal incisions and/or invert scrotum and glue
