Surgical Procedures: Repro & Urinary Flashcards
SX:
Non functional Ovarian Cyst
**Surgical Excision is curative **
Functional Ovarian Cyst Surgery
**Surgical Excision is curative **
Ovarian Neoplasia Surgery
Solitary tumor: complete excision curative
Ovarian Remnant Syndrome Surgery
Surgical removal of remnant at the caudal pole of kidney
What is an ovariectomy(OVE)?
Removal of ovary alone. (OVE)
Pyometra Surgery
OVH
Because pyometra requires progesterone and the ovary is a source of progesterone.
Unilateral OVH preserves fertility
Cystic Endometrial Hyperplasia Surgery
OHE
Not a medical emergency. Good prognosis.
Pyometra Surgery
OHE after adequate resuscitation .
Large incision from xiphoid to pubis. No need to break suspensory ligament. Milk purulent material away from cervix. Ligate prior to clamp placement. Use noncrushing clamps(Doyen).
Prognosis good with surgery.
Metritis Surgery
OHE is default. Does not affect milk production . Prognosis good with surgery.
Hysterotomy(incision into the urterus) preserves breeding. Only if the urterine wall is healthy.
Remove debris, lavage/suction to flush uterus.
Close with 3-0 or 4-0 absorbable monofilament. Do not penetrate mucosa.
Uterine Torsion Surgery
OHE - Treatment of Choice
Resuscitate first, remove viable pups by C-section.
Do not derotate.
Uterine Prolapse Surgery
OHE
Prevents recurrence. When manual reduction is not possible.
Dystocia Surgery
C-section(Hysterotomy):
Remove all fetuses, lavage uterus, close with 3-0 or 4-0 absorbable monofilament. Do one layer(continuous) or two(continuous and inverting layers). Use taper needle.
OR
Do En-bloc OHE:
Break down broad ligament, clamp pedicles without ligating, hand uterus off to non sterile assistant, remove puppies in
Nephrolithiasis Surgery
Nephrolithotomy - removal of stones from the kidney
Closure- sutureless
Hold for 5 minutes -> forms fibrin seal -> suture capsule only ->
release vascular clamp(clamp time 20 minutes) -> reattach
kidney
When is a pyelolithotomy indicated?
Used to remove calculi when proximal ureter and renal pelvis are dilated.
Does not require occlusion of blood supply and does not damage nephrons*
Renal Trauma Surgery
Moderate trauma: partial nephrectomy and omental patching
Major trauma: partial nephrectomy or nephroureterectomy(evaluate contralateral kidney first).
Indications for a Nephroureterectomy (removal or kidney and ureter).
- Severe Infection
- Severe Trauma
- Obstructive Calculi with Persistent Hydronephrosis
- Neoplasia
- Transplant
Hydronephrosis Surgery
Nephroureterectomy if it is non functional kidney or there is severe parenchymal damage.
Pyelonephritis Surgery
Nephroureterectomy - if advanced
Giant Kidney Worm Surgery
Nephrectomy - removal of entire kidney
Or
Nephrotomy- incision made into the kidney to pull the worms out.
Renal Neoplasia Surgery
Nephroureterectomy - remove the kidney and ureter
Renal Transplants Surgery
Renal artery and vein anastomosis using 8/0 nylon
Ectopic Ureter Surgery
Ectopic Ureter:
Neoureterocystostomy (side to side) : intravesicular diversion for intramural ectopic ureter (the most common kind).
Neoureterocystostomy (end to side): reimplantation of ureter from extramural ectopic ureter. (Not as common)
OR
Cystoscopic Laser Treatment: intramural EU, similar success, decreased post op pain, cannot remove remnant ureter that may contribute to incontinence.
Surgery for Ureterocele: dilation of distal ureter
Types:
Intravesicular - normal location
Ectopic- abnormal location
Intravesicular- Ureterocelectomy
Ectopic- Neoureterocystostomy with ureterocelectomy
Urethral Trauma Surgery
*Nephroureterectomy: financial constraints, minimizes complications.
Or
*Ureteroureterostomy(urethral anastomosis): procedure of choice for proximal ureter b/c cannot re-implant.
Or
Neoureterocystostomy(urethral reimplantation)
Or
Urinary Diversion : urethral stent or nephrostomy tube.
Disadvantages of Ureteroureterostomy
- Requires magnification
- Extremely difficult
- High incidence of complications: strictures and dehiscence.
Advantages of Ureteroureterostomy
Catheterize through cystotomy: avoids engaging back wall with suture.
What is a nephrostomy tube used for?
Urinary diversion: diverts urine after ureter surgery, hydronephrosis or obstruction.
What do we do when PROXIMAL uretheral length is insufficent to reach the bladder but long enough to cross midline?
Transureteroureterostomy:
Bring segment across midline and anastomosis to other ureter
What do you do when you have a significant loss of DISTAL ureter length?
Bladder Wall Flap:
Elevate bladder flap, implant ureter to end of flap and suture flap in a tube and close defect.
Ureterolithiasis Surgery
Most common indication for urethral surgery
Cystotomy and retrograde flushing and removal of stones via pyelithotomy.
Put in a permanent urethral stent to decrease morbidity, shorten hospital stay and have less complications.
The most common way to place a permanent urethral stent when treating ureterolithiasis.
Subcutaneous Urethral Bypass
Flow is from the kidney through the shunting port and into the bladder- bypassing the ureter.
Persistent Urachus Surgery
Surgical removal of urachal tube
