Exuberant granulation tissue in a horse: Successful treatment by the intralesional injection of 4% formaldehyde solution
No full textThe healing of wounds located on the equine distal limbs can often be impaired, which can result in exuberant granulation tissue and its associated aesthetic alteration and functional failures. Although a number of therapies have been developed and assessed, the treatment of these wounds still presents challenges. This report describes the treatment of exuberant granulation tissue in a horse using an intra-lesional injection of 4% formaldehyde solution. The successful outcome of this treatment suggests that further investigations are required in order to better evaluate its efficacy, as well as the incidence and the severity of any adverse reaction

No full textA standing laparoscopic technique for cryptorchidectomy of horses using theLigaSure TM device for division of the spermatic cord isdescribed. Twenty horses were referred for suspected unilateral cryptorchidism.After preparation, all horses underwent standing laparoscopy. In every horse thefirst trocar was positioned in the right flank; if a retained testis waseventually detected, two other laparoscopic portals were made in the same flankvertically. In case of left cryptorchidism three portals were created on theleft flank in a specular position. The first instrument portal was used to graspthe testicle with traumatic forceps while the second portal was used to insertthe LigaSure TM device and dissect the spermatic cord. Thetesticle was removed through an enlarged portal; in three cases an Endopouch Probasket (Ethicon Endosurgery) was used for withdrawal of the testis. Nocomplications occurred during or after surgery. Mean time for dieresis of thespermatic cord was 8 minutes; 60 minutes was the mean time required for theoverall procedure from sedation to the exit of the horse from the stock (range40 - 80 min.). In our opinion the use of the LigaSure TM systemseems to reduce surgical time, tissue damage and warrants good haemostasis
Surgical Debulking and TransEndoscopic Noncontact Diode Laser Application for Treating a Sinonasal Myxoma in a Horse
No full textEquine sinonasal myxomas (SNM) are very rare; only a few cases/small case series are reported in veterinary literature. The purpose of this report is to describe the diagnostic and surgical procedure adopted to approach the neoplastic mass in a case of equine SNM. A 5 year old, Murgese gelding was presented with mild serous nasal discharge, minimal facial swelling, decreased airflow from the right nostril, and dull frontal sinus percussion. Diagnostic imaging, including endoscopy, revealed a pale mass in the caudal portion of the right middle meatus, which developed inside the right conchofrontal sinus and nasal cavity and deviated the nasal septum to the left side. A large frontonasal bone flap was created with the horse in general anesthesia, aiming to remove the lesion and perform further diagnostic investigation. The mass had the shape of a small orange, the caudodorsal and rostral part having a hard wall, whereas the ventral part being friable; the inside was hollow, containing a viscous and transparent liquid. Surgical excision was broad but incomplete, and therefore after surgery, a standing transendoscopic diode laser irradiation and photoablation of small residual lesions per nasum were performed. Microscopically, the mass consisted of spindle-shaped cells, loosely arranged within an abundant, light blue myxoid matrix. On the basis of clinical and pathologic findings, the diagnosis of sinonasal myxoma was made. Although benign and slowly growing, myxomas usually tend to infiltrate the surrounding tissues; as a consequence, recurrence is very likely after surgical excision. In the case described herein, the combination of a surgical excision, transendoscopic diode laser irradiation, and photoablation provided a positive outcome, until at least 14 months after surgery
