Q

OVH in CAT

A

FLANK approach - 2cm below wing of illium - triangle (femur illum equilateral point)

17
Q

OVH in CAT pt 2

A
  • Remove small amount of fat bluntly
    Make small incision in external, internal, oblique, rectus abdominis
18
Q

How to locate uterine horn (cat)

A
  • sublumbar fat (yellow) lifted dorsally then gentle tractionto exteriorise left ovary (fenestrate broad lig)
19
Q

Clamps & ligation - Cat OVH

A

Clamp ( if poss) then double ligate and incise body - be CAREful with clamping body as friable

20
Q

Surgical complications of OVH ?

A
  • HAemorrhage (usually ovarian pedicles)
  • Urinary tract injuries
  • Ovarian remnent syndrome
  • Stump granuloma (catgut)
  • Iatrogenic pseudopreganncy
  • infection & dehisence
21
Q

What should you do for older fatty, pregnant or pyo animals?

A

Ligate the broad ligament

22
Q

Are ABs indicated for routine OVH?

A

NO

23
Q

What approach for pregnant or in-season cats?

A

Midline

24
Q

What is the most common cause of post op haemorrhage in OVH?

A

Slipped ligatures -> so leave enough tissue above the ligature

25
Q

Describre an open orchiectomy ?

A
    • liogations are direct, more secure
    • may be prefferabel in large dogs
    • opening of an extension of the peritoneal cavoty, risk of intestinal herniation
  • inc surgical time
26
Q

Describe Closed Orchiectomy

A
    • reduces operative time
    • inc chance of ligature slippage
27
Q

When should you do closed castrations?

A
  • Always with testicular neoplasia
  • Consider in dogs with pendulous scrotum
28
Q

When should you consider scrotal ablation?

A

in dogs with pendulous scrotum, large dogs, or with trauma

28
Q

Describe pre scrotal incisions

A

Quicker but inc haematoma and seroma formation

29
Q

What complications can occur with ohiectomy?

A
  • Scrotal bruising & swellin
  • Haemorrhage
  • Scotal haematoma
  • Infection
  • Self trauma
30
Q

T/F - for close castration you should stip away fat/ tissue prior to ligating cord

A

True
