Repro Surgery in Mares Flashcards
options for treatment of granulosa theca cell tumors
- standing laparoscopy (G.S.)
- via standing colpotomy ONLY if <10 cm
treatment for pneumovagina
caslicks vulvoplasty
what to remember when considering surgery for urovagina
must do biopsies to ensure no permanent changes
signalment for urovagina
aged multiparous mares -> stretching of tissues + poor conformation -> vaginal fornix ventral to external urethral sphincter
common in TB
true or false: granulosa theca cell tumors in mares are usually benign and slow growing BUT produce hormones
true
pre op prep for repair of 3rd degree perineal laceration
preop care: low bulk diet (if >1 yr post injury-> biopsies)
post op standing colpotomy
no laying down for 7-10 days
treatment for 3rd degree perineal lacerations
complete disruption between rectum and vestibule. can lead to infertility
ALLOW 4 WEEKS TO PASS BEFORE REPAIRING
preop care: low bulk diet (if >1 yr post injury-> biopsies)
post op: keep feces sot for 3-4 weeks; sexual rest from natural breeding for 2 months; fertility returns 1 month post op
1st degree perineal laceration
mucosa of vestibule and skin at dorsal vulvar commisure
when does fertility return after repair of 3rd degree perineal laceration?
1 month post op; sexually rest from natural breeding for 2 months
treatment for 2nd degree perineal lacerations
same as 1st degree (mucosa of vestibule and skin at dorsal vulvar commisure) +constrictor vulvae muscle -> affects integrity of vestibular sphincter -> pneumo/urovagina
treatment: vestibulovulvoplasty
assisted vs. controlled vaginal delivery
assisted: mare awake and doing most of the work
controlled: mare under GA
second degree perineal laceration
same as 1st degree (mucosa of vestibule and skin at dorsal vulvar commisure) +constrictor vulvae muscle -> affects integrity of vestibular sphincter -> pneumo/urovagina
treatment for urovagina
urethral extension via Mckinnon technique or modified mckinnon technique
you’re doing a standing laparoscopy to remove a granulosa cell tumor. what are your options for removing the tumor from the body wall?
- morcellation/retrieval bag through portal
- flank laparotomy if too big for portal
- ventral midline laparotomy if EXTRA large
