Q

Why does the pampiniform plexus wind all around the testicular artery

A

Blood coming in through the testicular artery is too hot, but blood leaving through the testicular vein is the same temperature as the testicle. Having the artery smothered by the vein caused heat exchange between the two so the excess heat is taken back to the body and levels out before reaching the testicle

Q

What is the difference between an open castration and a closed castration

Q

Which type of castration is better on small animals and why

A

Open castration because a surgical sweet, in theory, should be sterile enough that the peritoneal cavity is not exposed to anything that would kill the dog, and patients are usually sent home on precautionary antibiotics anyway

Q

Which type of castration would be better for a large/farm animal

A

Closed castration because these situations are usually more about quantity than quality, so to speak, and these animals cannot always be loaded up for surgery for a simple neuter. While bleeding is more of a risk with this type, it will only happen for a small percentage of these procedures

Q

What is the difference in the way pigs are often castrated

A

They tend to use the pull method. The scrotum is opened and the cords are yanked so they snap and the testicle comes out. Bleeding is certainly a risk with this method as well, and it is far less commonly performed in cats

Q
