Abstract
Gastrointestinal diseases play an important role in the systemic alteration in horses. Several studies have been performed in order to better understand these processes. For these studies, to place a cannula inside the animal is a requirement. This study aimed to describe the surgical technique to place a cecal cannula in horses and the major postoperative changes. Nine adults and mixed breed horses were used in this study. The surgical procedure was performed in two steps. Primarily, through an incision in the right costal region, the dorsal segment of the cecum was sutured against the abdominal wall. In the second procedure, after the incision in the segment of the cecum, a canula was placed in the cecal lumen and sutured against the abdominal wall. This technique was viable when performed in two separated surgical procedures. The latex cannulas were well accepted by the horses, samples from the cecum could be collected throughout a period from 120 to 160 days, being considered appropriated for experimental procedures.KEYWORDS: Cecostomy, cecum, horses, intestinal cannulation.
Highlights
Gastrointestinal diseases play an important role in the systemic alteration in horses
Decorridas doze horas da primeira etapa cirúrgica, foram observados sinais de desconforto abdominal discreto, caracterizados por olhar para o flanco e cavar o solo, em todos os equinos
Não foram registradas alterações estatisticamente significativas nessas variáveis, o que leva a inferir que o quadro de desconforto abdominal leve observado doze horas após a tiflopexia pode estar associado a uma resposta inflamatória moderada desencadeada pelo procedimento cirúrgico
Summary
Andrea Del Pilar Uribe Diaz, Aureo Evangelista Santana, Carlos Augusto Araujo Valadão e Adriana Helena de Souza. Departamento de Clínica e Cirurgía Veterinária, FCAV/UNESP. As doenças gastrointestinais têm participação importante nas alterações sistêmicas observadas nos equinos. Inúmeros estudos têm sido realizados para o melhor entendimento desses processos, exigindo a implantação de cânulas. Descrevem-se técnica cirúrgica para implantação de cânula cecal em equinos e as principais alterações pós-cirúrgicas. Utilizaramse nove equinos adultos mestiços, nos quais o procedimento cirúrgico foi realizado em duas etapas. Foi feita uma incisão na região paracostal direita e fixado o aspecto dorsal do ceco à parede abdominal, no primeiro tempo operatório. Procedeu-se à incisão da parede do ceco, introduziu-se a cânula no lúmen cecal, fixando-a à parede abdominal. As cânulas de látex foram bem toleradas pelos pacientes, permitindo a obtenção de conteúdo cecal num período de 120 a 160 dias, sendo consideradas adequadas para fins experimentais.
