This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Group B Lab 5 Equine castration, Drugs overview of Post-op drugs used, Anatomy Includes Bulbourethral, Vesicular and Prostate Glands , Castration Requires Laproscopic Cryptorchidectomy, Animal is placed under general anesthesia Two incisions are made through the scrotal skin, tunica dartos and scrotal fascia parallel to the median raphe, approximately 2 cm apart and 8 to 10 cm long., The sac is then ligated as high as possible using 5 metric synthetic absorbable suture materials (e.g. Vicryl [polyglactin 910]). An emasculator is then used and the entire spermatic cord is emasculated at least 2cm distal to the ligature and held in place for a minimum of 1 minute. (Figure 2), Types Includes Permanent inguinal retention (Scroll Over), Definition 1. Cryptorchidism is a condition in which one or both testicles do not descend normally into the scrotum or the incomplete descent of one or both testicles. 2. Unilateral Crytorchids are usually fertile, while bilateral cryptorchids are generally sterile. 3. Rig is the layman term for cryptorchid or a horse that displays behavioral patters like a stallion with no visible testicles. 4. False Rig- Is where both testicles are removed from the horse surgically howeer it still behaves like a stallion or displays masculine behavior, Cryptorchidism What is it? Definition, Post-Op Observations ᡐhr •Remove sutures in 10-14 days. •At this time carefully examine integrity of repair Insufficient tissue apposition may lead to small openings that require repair., Pre- Op Physical Examination, 9. The external rectus sheath is closed in a simple continuous pattern using no. 1 polyglyconate. 10. The subcutaneous tissue and skin are closed respectively using a no. 2-0 synthetic absorbable suture material using a simple continuous pattern., Equine Castration Involves Pre- Operative Examination (Scroll Over), 7. The testis is identified and exteriorized from the incision and emascululated. 8. The external abdominal oblique fascia is closed with an absorbable suture material in a continuous pattern., Pre-Op Drugs, The vaginal tunic is then incised and the testicle is exteriorised and the testis is pulled distally. The pressure from the forefinger and thumb helps in the protrusion of the testis. subcutaneous tissue is stripped from the vaginal tunic. Step 5 The spermatic cord and epididymis are identified., Equine Castration Involves Anatomy, Anatomy Includes Scrotum, Equine Pneumovagina Involves Anatomy, Intra-Op For Closed Castration, Overview Why?
