cause alarm.
[Illustration: $1]
=Complications: Hæmorrhage.=—If the incision is unskilfully performed,
it may in exceptional cases result in injury of the terminal portion of
the aorta or the iliac arteries. The blood then streams past the
operator’s hand, and the animal dies of internal hæmorrhage in a few
minutes; nothing can be done.
If there is undue haste in manipulating the _écraseur_, the pedicle of
the ovary is cut rather than crushed, the vessels close imperfectly, and
grave hæmorrhage may occur.
In cases where hæmorrhage is slight the peritoneal clot is readily
reabsorbed; but should the animal happen to be tuberculous or its
vessels in any other way diseased, free hæmorrhage may occur and may
eventually be followed by fatal peritonitis. Hernia of the intestine
through the vagina is a rare complication nowadays, on account of the
small dimensions of the perforations. In former times, when larger
incisions were made, it occurred rather frequently.
=Abscess Formation.=—Suppuration of the wound and peritonitis or
vaginitis are caused solely by the neglect of antiseptic precautions.
Pelvic peritonitis following an operation is indicated, like ordinary
acute peritonitis, by loss of appetite, peritonism, colic, etc.
Even where peritonitis is avoided a local abscess often forms in the
vaginal wall owing to infection of the operation wound. The symptoms are
delayed for several days, sometimes for a fortnight after operation, and
consist in straining efforts, moderate peritonism, diminution in
appetite, etc. Vaginal or rectal examination reveals the character and
extent of the disease. The abscess should be punctured through the
vagina.
Finally, it may happen that castration does not prevent the recurrence
of œstrum. The ovarian pedicle may have been divided too close to the
glandular tissue, a fragment of which has remained adherent to the
pedicle.
Certain other operative complications are also possible in dealing with
cows suffering from nympho-mania which have developed cysts, tumours, or
abscesses of the ovaries. It is then necessary to enlarge the incision
in the vagina and take particular precautions not to rupture the cysts
or abscesses in the peritoneal cavity. The operator must proceed
cautiously and modify his technique according to circumstances.
CASTRATION OF THE SOW.
Castration of the sow has been practised since very ancient times. The
operation is performed on animals intended for fattening, and at all
ages between six weeks and maturity.
=Anatomical Arrangement of the Genital Organs.=—Before performing
ovariotomy in the sow it is indispensable to understand the special
arrangement of the genital organs. The uterine horns are very long and
folded on themselves, forming convolutions which give them somewhat the
appearance of small loops of intestine. Nevertheless they can readily be
distinguished by the touch, for they are much smaller in size than the
latter.
In young sows, two to three months old, they are of about the thickness
of a small pencil. Differentiation is more difficult in sows that have
borne litters, but as the ovaries alone are withdrawn, leaving the horns
of the uterus uninjured, this distinction is unimportant.
The horns of the uterus are suspended in the peritoneal cavity by means
of very extensive, well-developed, and very lax ligaments, and, as the
horns of the uterus lie at a very acute angle one to the other, the
ovaries are very close to the median line of the abdomen. The length and
yielding character of the parts and the close apposition of the ovaries
explain why the latter can be found and extracted through a single
incision in the flank, either on the right or left side.
An ordinary convex bistoury or a special knife and two artery forceps
are the instruments employed.
=Manual Technique.=—The animal is cast on the right or left side,
preferably on the right, so that the right index finger can be employed.
Full-grown sows should always be muzzled. In the case of young animals,
the limbs should be grasped by assistants, the hind limbs being crossed
one over the other and drawn backwards.
Antiseptic applications are highly desirable, although they are usually
neglected when a layman directs the operation.
The operator places himself close to the animal’s back. The incision may
be made in one of three different places.
[Illustration: $1]
Certain practitioners recommend a vertical incision about 2 to 2¼ inches
in length, commencing at the external angle of the ilium, or ⅓ of an
inch in front of it, and prolonged downwards; others make a horizontal
incision parallel with the vertebral axis; and, lastly, some believe
that an oblique incision following the direction of the “cord of the
flank” is just as advantageous. A vertical or oblique incision is
probably the best.
The operation comprises four stages:
=First stage.= Incision of the skin and subjacent muscles.
=Second stage.= Perforation of the peritoneum and discovery of the
ovaries.
=Third stage.= Ablation of the ovaries or of the ovaries and horns of
the uterus.
=Fourth stage.= Suture of the wound.
The tissues are divided layer by layer. The skin is formed into a
longitudinal fold and divided in a vertical direction, and the subjacent
muscular layers are then divided with the bistoury. The tissues are next
broken through layer by layer with the index finger until the parietal
peritoneum is reached. This membrane is then fissured, or at least
scraped with the nail, and perforated with a sudden sharp thrust of the
index finger.
[Illustration: $1]
This practice, however, has the disadvantage of sometimes causing the
parietal peritoneum to strip away from the wall of the abdomen, which
greatly increases the difficulties of operation. It is better,
therefore, to grasp the peritoneum with a small pair of forceps, draw it
outwards, and secure it so as to puncture it with more certainty. When
experience has been acquired this precaution will be unnecessary.
The incision being made and the finger introduced into the abdomen, the
operator, who kneels against the animal’s back, searches for the ovaries
with his index finger. The upper ovary of the side in which the incision
has been made will be found immediately in contact with the parietal
peritoneum, and the operator must take care not to displace it by
untimely or careless manipulation, which may thrust it away among the
loops of intestine. The finger being doubled up in the form of a hook,
the ovary is seized and drawn out. Sometimes it may be easier to
withdraw the uterine horn, leaving the search for the ovary until a
little later.
The first ovary having been discovered, its pedicle is seized between
the left thumb and index finger or the jaws of pressure forceps, and
then the search is continued for that of the opposite side. In young
sows the horn of the uterus may be followed up from its extremity
(ovarian extremity) towards its origin (bifurcation of the body of the
uterus) and the search continued along the horn of the uterus of the
opposite side, which is followed in the reverse direction from its base
towards its extremity until the second ovary is found.
The most difficult stage is that at which the change is made from one
horn to the other, for this is the moment when the contraction of the
parts is most violent, the animal’s struggles most energetic and the
pain most acute, so that great care must be taken not to let go the horn
which has already been secured.
When the second ovary appears at the external orifice, it is secured
like the preceding, and both are removed by torsion. The horns of the
uterus are then freed and returned to the abdominal cavity, the wound is
thoroughly disinfected and united with from one to three interrupted
sutures passed through the skin. The animal is then allowed to rise.
Complications are rare.
In small females the uterine horns are often removed by torsion along
with the ovaries. In adults, only the ovaries are removed.
=Subsequent Precautions: Operative Accidents.=—The patients are kept on
low diet for some days after operation. Accidental stripping away of the
peritoneum at the seat of operation may sometimes result in the
formation of a little abscess when the wound has been infected. This is
diagnosed by direct examination or palpation. The lips of the wound are
then opened in order to permit the pus to escape and avoid peritonitis.
Should the horns of the uterus or the broad ligaments be roughly
manipulated, they may be torn to some extent, but this rarely causes
grave complications.
Bleeding from the incision in the abdominal wall is of little
importance.
Hernia rarely occurs, for the opening in the peritoneum is of very small
size.
In rare cases, and when care is not used, a portion of the intestine may
be sutured to the margin of the wound. The intestine then becomes
adherent to the abdominal wall, but grave results seldom follow.
SUTURE OF THE VULVA
In cases of recurrence after reduction of an inversion of the uterus or
the vagina it may become necessary to suture the vulva in order to
control the effects of straining.
Several forms of suture are employed; the best are probably those of
Rainard and Strebel.
=Simple Suture.=—Simple suture may be formed of very flexible copper
wires. Three are usually inserted, one at the base, one about the
middle, and one near the upper third of the vulval opening. The ends of
each suture are knotted and drawn moderately tight over the opening,
then one of the ends of the highest knot is united vertically to an end
of the middle knot, and the latter in its turn is similarly secured to
the lowest knot.
To be reliable, sutures should embrace the entire thickness of the lips
of the vulva.
=Rainard’s Suture.=—Rainard’s suture consists only of two oblique
stitches, crossed in the form of the letter “=X=,” starting from the
upper third of one of the lips of the vulva and terminating in the lower
third of the opposite lip. The ends are tied opposite the centre of the
vulval opening.
=Strebel’s Suture.=—Strebel’s suture consists of three stitches inserted
transversely. The material employed is galvanised wire, sharpened at one
end and rolled into a flat spiral at the other. Each wire, which plays
the part of a needle, is inserted separately, and is afterwards twisted
into a spiral by means of special forceps, the excess of length being
thus taken up until the lips of the vulva are brought closely in
contact.
[Illustration: $1]
In practice, in order to avoid the cutting and irritant effect of such
sutures and to increase their efficiency, two rectangular pieces of
leather are applied on either side through holes in which the actual
metallic sutures are passed. West’s vulval clamp is better than sutures.
It is very popular in England.
TRUSSES.
Trusses applied for the purpose of preventing prolapsus of the genital
organs are now almost entirely given up, as they very imperfectly
achieve their object.
Lund’s truss, shown in the illustration (Fig. 325), is perhaps the most
efficient of those which survive. The essential portion of this is of
metal, and is approximately of the shape of the letter “=V=.” The two
ends may be separated and drawn together at will by means of a cord.
This apparatus is held in contact with the vulva by means of strings
which pass through eyes in the metallic triangle and are secured to a
collar placed on the neck or to a girth secured round the chest.
[Illustration: $1]
SECTION OF THE SPHINCTER OF THE TEAT.
This operation is performed to render easily pervious the ends of teats
which have undergone contraction as a consequence of changes in the
sphincter or from some other cause.
The animals are secured, and the teat to be operated on having been
grasped between the index finger and thumb of the left hand, the point
of the little cutting instrument shown in Fig. 326 is introduced into
the opening of the teat, and it is then thrust in as far as the shoulder
on the cutting edges.
DILATATION OF THE ORIFICE OF THE TEAT.
The results of the above operation not always proving permanent, and
cicatricial contraction often following after a few weeks’ time, forced
dilatation by means of the conical tubes shown (Fig. 327) has been
generally substituted for it. Three instruments of varying thickness are
usually sufficient. Forced dilatation may be effected at a single
operation, and has not the drawback of causing cicatrices.
[Illustration: $1]
[Illustration: $1]
ABLATION OF THE MAMMÆ.
Ablation of the mammæ is rather frequently necessary, principally in
cases of gangrenous mammitis, of prolonged, continuous suppuration, or
of grave mammitis, where death would otherwise follow.
Provided the anatomical structure of the parts is known (Fig. 327)
ablation does not present any insuperable difficulty.
In the cow, either two lateral quarters or the entire udder must be
removed. The lines of incision through the skin should first of all be
traced.
One half of the udder may be removed by the following method:
=First stage.= Elliptical incision through the skin, including the two
teats of one side.
The lines of incision should extend backwards sufficiently high to
enable the vessels at the base of the gland to be easily ligatured.
=Second stage.= Dissection and breaking down of the subcutaneous and
intermammary connective tissue. The anterior mammary vein must be
ligatured.
=Third stage.= Isolation of the mamma from the front backwards, and
ligature of the vessels of supply. Extirpation.
=Fourth stage.= Suture and drainage of the operative wound with iodoform
gauze.
[Illustration: $1]
[Illustration: $1]
This operation appears to cause formidable injuries, the abdominal tunic
and the muscles of the flat portion of the thigh being largely exposed,
but in reality the wound is less grave than might be supposed, and
healing occurs in a comparatively short time, provided none of the
diseased tissue is left.
The dressing is renewed at intervals of two or three days, and when
cicatrisation proceeds regularly it may be omitted and replaced by
antiseptic irrigation.
In the ewe and she-goat the operative technique is identical:
=First stage.= Elliptical incision, including the teat.
=Second stage.= Breaking through of the intermammary connective tissue
partition and the subcutaneous tissue. Ligature of the anterior mammary
vein.
=Third stage.= Isolation of the mamma from the front backwards. Ligature
of the vessels of supply. Extirpation.
=Fourth stage.= Suture and drainage.
