Abstract
As one of the most frequently performed surgical techniques and the constant association with complications, ten animals were submitted to castration and physical, chemical and cytological peritoneal fluid characteristics were evaluated. The peritoneal fluid samples were obtained before surgery and after castration. It was evaluated the color and turbidity, total concentration and count of differential leukocyte, lactate, protein and phosphorus, as well as the activity of CK, AST, LDH and FA. After castration, the peritoneal fluid has become reddish and cloudy, there was an increase in protein, lactate and phosphorus as well the activity of CK, AST, AP and LDH. The changes were not associated with the development of postoperative complications and were due to inflammatory response triggered by surgical trauma. The analysis of peritoneal fluid can assist in post castration monitoring to the aiming the early and efficiently resolution of possible complications.
