Abstract
The use of the spermatic cord as ligature is practised by field veterinarians however information on wound assessment parameters associated with its use is lacking This study evaluated changes in wound assessment parameters associated with contralateral spermatic cord as ligature in open and closed prescrotal and scrotal castrations in growing Nigerian male mongrels Sixty clientowned dogs were randomly assigned into 6 groups n=10 The spermatic cord was used as ligature in 4 groups 1 2 5 6 while chromic catgut ligature was used in the other 2 groups 3 and 4 Groups 1 3 and 5 were prescrotally castrated while groups 2 4 and 6 were scrotally castrated using standard methods Incisions were closed in groups 1 2 3 and 4 while in groups 5 and 6 incisions remained open Mean wound dehiscence was significantly higher p005 in group 1 than that of the other sutured dog groups postcastration Mean wound exudation was significantly higher p005 in groups 5 and 6 than that of the other dog groups Mean bacterial load was also significantly higher p005 in groups 5 and 6 at days 1 3 and 7 postcastration in comparison to that of the other groups Mean days for complete wound healing were significantly higher in groups 5 and 6 when compared to those of the other groups Findings greatly suggest that contralateral spermatic cord ligature provides a credible alternative to the use of absorbable ligature during castration in dogs and also discourages leaving an incision openThe research was carried following ethical permit by the University of Nigeria Research and Ethics committee Also consent was gotten from each client before the research commenced Owners of all dogs gave informed consent Owners who volunteered the use of their pets for the study were not charged for castration and hospitalization cost during the period of the study
