Journal Article Review
Scharf et al Vet Surg 2019 “H2O2 and lap sx port”
-vaporized H2O2 for repeat sterilization and single use lap sx port.
-no difference in bacteriological scores between ports, tubing, cannulas, between negative control and treatment groups
-bacterial scores between 6-10 cycles didn’t differ from 5 or less cycles.
According to Sharf et al 2019, what was the difference in bacterial scores between 6-10 cycles and 5 or less cycles?
No difference in bacterial scores
Jackson et al Vet Surg 2019 “aiming device SCB cyst distal limb”
-debridement and BMP-2 filled cysts under CT guidance
-optimal placement in 11 cases, satisfactory in 3
-No complications
-Outcome favorable in 10/11 horses
-7/11 returned to previous activity
-7 horses with excellent outcome had cysts CSA reduced by 17-88%
-3 horses with Good outcome had CSA reduction of 36-90%
According to Jackson et al Vet Surg 2019, what percentage reduction in cross sectional area was present in horses with an “excellent outcome”?
A. 36-90%
B. 25-70%
C. 40-60%
D. 17-88%
D. 17-88%
Valenzano et al Vet Surg 2019
“5 mm vessel sealing device”
-performance and microbiological safety testing after multiple use cycles VSD
-mean cycle to failure=7.7 (4-12)
-most failed due to handset activation
-Great microbiological safety (looked at pseudomonas and staph epidermis)
In the study by Valenzano et al Vet Surg 2019, what was the mean cycle to failure?
What was the primary cause of cycle failure?
7.7
Handset activation failure
Strand et al Vet Surg 2019
“Alar fold, post op performance”
-Complete bilateral alar fold resection performed
-DDSP was present in 10 horses in addition to alar fold collapse
-at 68 months, 20/25 competed and 13/17 improved their racing mark
-3 horses had minor scarring
According to Strand et al Vet Surg 2019, how many horses had concurrent DDSP?
How many improved their racing mark?
10 horses
13/17
Reig et al Vet Surg 2019
“VPBP penile prolapse”
-2 different phallopexy techniques tested-phallopexy alone and phallopexy with urethropexy
-excellent long term outcome in 4/5
-1 pig needed revised urethropexy
-causes of prolapse (idiopathic in 3, castration in 2)
-urethropexy: allows precise placement of penile tip, but not as strong
-phallopexy: stronger pexy, but less precise penile placement
Ferreira et al. Vet Surg 2019
“thermography calves”
-no difference in skin temperature between primary closure and second intention wounds at any time
-skin temperature warmer at 2, 4, and 8 hours after wound creation. Thermography was unable to pick up on change.
Devick, et al. Vet Surg 2019
“mesocolon fenestration”
-left paralumbar fossa approach, incisive mesocolon, removed right ovary from left portal approach
-both pedicles successfully ligated
-complications included incisional emphysema in 2/5
-closed mesocolon with laparoscopic stapler
According to Devick et al Vet Surg 2019, what was the primary complication of the ovariectomy procedure?
What approach was used to remove the ovaries and how was the mesentery closed?
-incisional emphysema in 2/5
-Left paralumbar fossa approach
-Close mesocolon mesentery with lap stapler
Curtiss et al. Vet Surg 2019
“surgical site infection, ortho”
-Surgical site infection reported in 22/155 cases (14%)
-No association with ORIF, open fracture, or length of surgery time
-Fetlock arthrodesis and ulnar fractures most likely to develop SSI
-local prophylactic antimicrobial therapy associated with increased risk
-horses with SSI 12X less likely to survive along with radial, femoral, humeral, and carpal arthrodesis
According to Curtiss et al. Vet Surg 2019, what procedures were most likely to develop SSI?
-fetlock arthrodesis and ulnar fractures
According to Curtiss et al, Vet Surg 2019, what factor besides surgical procedure was associated with increased risk of SSI?
local prophylactic use of antimicrobials
