Patient Prep (MO), Rectal Prolapse (MO) How to diagnose? Diagnosis of rectal prolapse is not difficult during the physical examination. However, it should be noted that care needs to be taken when examining to ensure that the prolapse does not contain organs and isn't damaged more upon examination. N.B. May be described by the extent of involvement of various tissues as Grade I–IV. Grade III and IV rectal prolapses usually require surgical resection of the affected portion of the rectum. The severity of injury to the rectum may be described based on the extent of tissue damage as Grade I–IV., Rectal Prolapse (MO) 2 types Complete (MO), Rectal Prolapse (MO) causes/ pre-disposing factors +Straining which may be associated with tenesmus (as occurs with coccidiosis, colitis, etc.) +Dysuria (as a complication of cystitis, urolithiasis, dystocia, neoplasia, etc.) +Neuropathy (as a complication of being 'ridden down‘ by other cattle during estrus, spinal lymphoma, use of epidural blocks, spinal abscess, etc) +Chronic coughing (as a complication of bovine respiratory disease), or genetics. +Other factors have been associated with the development of rectal prolapse including -neoplasia, diet (e.g., clover, high estrogenic compound feedstuffs such as soybean meal) -various toxins. +Intermittent rectal prolapse has been seen in embryo transfer cows and may be caused by obesity with excessive pelvic deposition of fat and chronic administration of estrogenic hormones. +Most commonly seen in sheep as a complication of tail amputation. (Typically, the tail is amputated so short that the innervation of the anal sphincter and perianal muscles are compromised. This results in chronically progressive rectal protrusion and ultimately prolapse.), Rectal Prolapse (MO) How to repair? Prolapse Ring (MO), Pre-op (MO) ????
