No. of bitstreams: 1 2008 - Fabiane Azeredo Atallah.pdf: 2871575 bytes, checksum: e1634a7beeeaf1a05ff40e3641148f81 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-01-16 / This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative complications in 20 bitches previously submitted to ovariohysterectomy, correct these complications by surgery, and correlate the findings observed in preoperative diagnostic exams with those found during exploratory laparotomy. The animals were evaluated from the first day to the third month after consultation. Questionnaires were filled out by the owners. Bitches were submitted to clinical and laboratory exams, and ultrasound of the pelvic and abdominal regions. The most important complications observed were fistulas, ovarian and uterine stump granuloma, intestinal adherence, presence of ovarian remnants, hydronephrosis, and hydroureter. Two bitches died, and normal physiological functions were restored in all the other bitches. This study identified that mistakes that lead to these problems occur frequently during nonprofit reproductive control activities and in animal protection organizations as well as in private clinics, and are made not only by veterinary medicine students prematurely acting as veterinarians at the owners? homes, but also by veterinary medicine professionals. This study showed that mistakes made during ovariohysterectomy may cause several alterations in organs of the abdominal cavity that may lead to death. / Esse estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar as complica??es p?s-operat?rias em 20 cadelas anteriormente submetidas a ov?rio-histerectomia e corrigir cirurgicamente essas complica??es, bem como correlacionar as altera??es observadas nos exames diagn?sticos pr?-operat?rios com as observadas durante a laparotomia explorat?ria. Os animais foram avaliados desde o primeiro dia de atendimento at? o terceiro m?s. Foram aplicados question?rios aos propriet?rios e as cadelas foram submetidas a exames cl?nicos, laboratoriais e ultra-sonografia das regi?es p?lvica e abdominal. As complica??es mais importantes na p?s ov?rio-histerectomia observadas durante a laparotomia explorat?ria foram f?stulas, granuloma de coto ovariano e uterino, ader?ncias intestinais, ov?rio remanescente, hidronefrose e hidroureter. Duas cadelas vieram a ?bito e, em todas as outras se conseguiu restabelecer as fun??es fisiol?gicas. Essa pesquisa identificou que esses erros est?o sendo corriqueiramente cometidos, n?o s? em projetos de castra??o como em entidades protetoras de animais, mas tamb?m em cl?nicas particulares, por acad?micos de Medicina Veterin?ria que atuam precocemente em domic?lios e por profissionais da Medicina Veterin?ria. Esse estudo indicou que os diversos equ?vocos cometidos durante a realiza??o de uma ov?rio-histerectomia podem provocar severas altera??es em diversos sistemas da cavidade abdominal animal que podem at? culminar com o ?bito.
