Comparative Evaluation of Midventral and Flank Laparotomy Approaches in Goat

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare two laparotomy approaches (flank and midventral). Ten (n = 10) apparently healthy goats of different breeds and sex, average age of 12 ± 2.1 months, and average weight of 13.4 ± 2 kg were used for the investigation. The goats were randomly divided into flank and midventral groups, each group comprising five goats (n = 5). Standard aseptic laparotomy was performed under lumbosacral epidural anaesthesia with mild sedation. Postsurgical wound score showed significant difference (P < 0.05) in erythema at 18–24 hours and 10–14 days after surgery between the two approaches; significant difference of dehiscence between the two groups was also recorded at 10–14 days after surgery. Total white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocytes counts were significantly different (P < 0.05) at the first and second week after surgery. There was significant difference of platelets critical value and platelets dimension width at the first and second week after surgery. Significant difference of packed cells volume between the two approaches was also recorded one week after surgery. It was concluded that midventral laparotomy approach can be conveniently and safely performed under aseptic precautions without fear of intra- and postoperative clinical problems.

Hematological prediction study of peritonitis following laparotomy in goats

“…In ruminants, laparotomy is considered the most frequent surgical procedure [1] and is carried out for exploratory purpose in conditions when confirmatory diagnosis is dicey and when the established diagnosis is indicative of this procedure [1,9]. The indications for laparotomy include but are not limited to abomasopexy, rumenotomy, Cesarean section, and pyloro-omentopexy [9].…”

“…The indications for laparotomy include but are not limited to abomasopexy, rumenotomy, Cesarean section, and pyloro-omentopexy [9]. Laparotomy could be performed using an appropriate anesthetic protocol using the flank abdominal, paramedian, and midventral approaches depending on the surgeon's convenience in performing the procedure [1,9].…”

Physiological Responses to Trauma-Haemorrhage (T/H) in Relation to Gender (Sex) in Adult Nubian Goats (Capra hircus)

“…Also, the decrease in PCV may be related to post-trauma responses which increase antidiuretic hormone and aldosterone secretion with consequent retention of water and salt that causes expansion of extracellular fluid leading to haemodilution [56]. A significant decrease in PCV was observed after one week of surgery in goats subjected to laparotomy [24].…”

“…The laparotomy was done according to a standard procedure [24]. Animals were fasted overnight before surgery.…”

“…Isofluran digunakan sebagai pemelihara anestesi selama operasi caesar berlangsung. Pendekatan operasi midline dilakukan dengan pertimbangan ukuran fetus besar dan pendarahan minimal (Abubakar et al 2014). Rambut daerah sayatan dicukur dibagian linea alba, disinfeksi menggunakan alkohol 70% dan povidone iodine.…”
