“…Thickening of the spermatic cord palpable in the inguinal region may progress proximally through the inguinal ring where enlargement may be detected on rectal examination (Claffey et al, 2018). Both transcutaneous and transrectal ultrasonography are extremely useful to evaluate for inguinal or peritoneal abscessation and to determine the extent of spermatic cord that may require resection (Kilcoyne & Spier, 2021). In a case series of 12 horses with chronic septic funiculitis, abdominal adhesions were identified in 50% of horses, including adhesions to the ascending and descending colon (Comino et al, 2022).…”

“…Topical agents that facilitate haemostasis include chitosan (Tucker et al, 2020) and absorbable haemostatic gauze (Ramey et al, 2021). Systemic coagulation agents have been used with variable success and include; epsilon‐aminocaproic acid (30–40 mg/kg bwt IV, q6–8h), tranexamic acid (5–25 mg/kg bwt slowly IV, q8–12h), conjugated oestrogens (0.05–0.1 mg/kg bwt IV, q12–24 h) and 10% formalin (10–50 mL of 10% formalin in 1 L isotonic fluids q12–24 h) (Kilcoyne & Spier, 2021; Moreno et al, 2021).…”

SummaryDespite castration being one of the most frequently performed elective equine surgical procedures, complication rates are high and range from severe life‐threatening conditions to mild complications that are of no consequence to the horse. This article will briefly review strategies to prevent complications and surgical castration techniques before reviewing, in‐depth, the following complications: excessive scrotal swelling and seroma formation, scrotal infection, septic funiculitis, septic peritonitis, haemorrhage, evisceration, omental prolapse, pyrexia, tetanus, penile trauma, hydrocele, signs of colic and continued stallion‐like behaviour. Whilst this list of complications can be daunting, an understanding of male anatomy, castration techniques and an awareness of possible complications can reduce both the incidence and mortality of complications, should they occur. This article will consider castrations performed in both a hospital and field setting and will review complication prevention, surgical techniques of castration and the management of intraoperative and postoperative complications.

Les chirurgies urogénitales du cheval mâle sont majoritairement des castrations. La technique de castration scrotale ouverte, la plus fréquemment pratiquée, présente jusqu’à 27,6 % de complications. Parmi celles-ci, les plus fréquentes sont l’œdème excessif, les infections et l’hémorragie. Plus rarement, une éviscération, une lésion du pénis, une vaginocèle ou la persistance du comportement mâle peuvent être rencontrées. La castration fermée au bloc de chirurgie a, elle, un taux de complications bien plus faible et sa complication spécifique est l’hématome scrotal. Lors de la castration d’un cheval cryptorchide, la complication spécifique peut être de ne pas réussir à localiser le testicule ; l’échographie et la cœlioscopie pourront alors être particulièrement utiles. Comme pour toute chirurgie, la maîtrise de la technique chirurgicale, l’asepsie et l’utilisation de matériel performant sont indispensables pour minimiser la survenue de complications. Lorsque celles-ci surviennent, leur identification rapide, une prise en charge adaptée et une bonne communication avec le client sont primordiales. La plupart des complications peuvent être traitées sur le terrain mais certaines, comme l’éventration, les hémorragies non contrôlées ou la péritonite nécessiteront une prise en charge dans un cadre hospitalier.
