Orquiectomia em equino a campo: relato de caso

Abstract

This Course Completion Work (CCW) describes a case report followed during the curricular internship at a veterinary clinic in Santa Helena de Goiás, Goiás. This internship lasted four months, provided monitoring and acquisition of knowledge of routine consultations, surgeries in small and large animals, treatments with a long and short duration, vaccination of animals, inpatient care, performance and interpretation of exams, tests for equine infectious anemia (EIA) and glanders in horses for removal from the animal transit guide (ATG) and sequence with learning to carry out reviews. The occurrence of orchiectomy becomes something almost routine in the life of a veterinarian, both in small and large animals, so the wisdom of surgical techniques is essential to carry out the correct procedures for each case. Castration is indicated for younger patients with the intention of not procreating, improving their management and even in clinical matters, not ruling out its use in older ones. The internship provided showed that even though it is a relatively simple surgery, it is necessary to carry out tests before the surgery, to see if you are fit to undergo a procedure, in addition to adequate anesthesia for each case, local asepsis, adequate procedure and last but not least, post-operative care.
