Modified postioplasty technique in cebuíno bulls with ulcerative balanoposthitis of the Mexican tropics

Abstract

The objective of the present work is to show the results of bulls with postitis that were Modified Postioplasty Technique as surgical management of this pathology. A non-probabilistic descriptive study was conducted in reproductively active bulls that presented chronic ulcerative postitis. Clinical-surgical cases occurred in different ranches in the southern area of Veracruz. The patients were 10 bulls bulls of which 7 were of the Brahmin breed, 1 indubrasil and 2 Black Sardo, with good body condition and with chronic ulcerative postitis. None of the animals had received surgical treatment. 2% xylazine was applied at the dose of 0.1 mg / kg body weight as a tranquilizer intramuscularly. Subsequently, for anesthesia,

2% lidocaine hydrochloride was infiltrated at a dose of 1 ml / cm3 of tissue at the base of the foreskin. Once the patient was reassured and the demolition maneuvers were performed, washing and detailed evaluation of the lesion was done. An incision was made in the mucocutaneous limbus and not in the skin to reduce the chances of scar phimosis. Large caliber vessels were ligated with transfixion points with  0.  caliber polyglycolic acid  absorbable material.  For clamping and  small  vessel  hemostasis, tightening and torsion was sufficient. The dissemination is carried out in 360 ° until the detachment of all the affected tissue including the damaged prepucial mucosa is achieved. Once the correct beauty was performed, the mucosa was clamped with rubber tweezers to prevent retraction, and 4 cardinal points with monophilic nylon suture were placed to expand the mucosa and be able to suture it to the skin, those same points of clamping were fixed with surgeon point and subsequently 4 points were placed between them.  The  10  bulls  operated  with  the  technique  described  had  recovery in  a  period  of  90  days postoperatively on average, two of them had complication of scar stenosis. It is concluded that the surgical technique used in this study had favorable results. It is considered that if the postoperative is not carried correctly it transcends seriously in the success or failure of this surgery.
