Valoración de la reacción inflamatoria post quirúrgica en orquiectomía de perros mediante dos técnicas de ligadura

Abstract

In this study, 40 clinically healthy male dogs were used as experimental units, assessed by the ASA classification system (American Society of Anesthesiologists); divided into two groups: puppies from 6 to 12 months weighing 7 to 15kg and adults over 12 months to 60 months weighing from 11 to 25 kg, using a pre-scrotal approach, under the same anesthetic protocol, were randomly assigned to the ligature techniques: using Vicryl (T1) and making square knots (T2). Three blood samples were taken and analyzed, one pre-surgical, at 24 hours and 8 days after surgery. This investigation was descriptive and experimental. The variables analyzed were: surgery time, inflammation (blood count values, leukogram), pain assessment (Glasgow scale modified by Otero) and physiological constants (HR, RR, T°, SpO2) resulting in: no significant time variables of surgery, physiological parameters and pain assessment. There was a significant difference (P<0,05) in platelets of adult dogs at 8 days in T1 307,2±143,13 and T2 294,8±139,34; in band neutrophils T1 7,5±23,49 and T2 1,3±2,40; Leukogram in T1 and age 1 for band neutrophils between the pre-surgical 0,32±0,093 and 8 days 7,04±6,462, and between 24 hours 0,94± 0,372 and 8 days 7,04±6,462. Concluding that with the surgical technique T1 (Vicryl) there was greater inflammation in adult dogs, observing an increase in band neutrophils; and in the assessment of pain, patients submitted to T2 presented a better behavior in relation to T1
