VSR 421: Regional Veterinary Surgery (2+1)

OPERATION TECHNIQUE IN STALLION

• A median cutaneous incision is made in the perineal region at the ischial arch, 3 to 4 inches long.
• Go between the retractor penis muscles and cut through the accelerator urinae muscle, corpus spongiosum and the urethral wall.
• Confine to the exact median line to avoid branches of the internal pudic artery.
• The wound may be left open or alternatively the urethra may be sutured to correspond to the skin edges to keep the opening patent.
