Patient preparation
All steps are done prior to any anesthesia. This will allow the surgical team to use less anesthesia for the actual procedure which is important to minimize any anesthesia that depresses the puppies. The mid-to caudal abdomen should be shaved and scrubbed.
Positioning
The patient is placed in dorsal recumbency with the legs securely fastened to the surgical table to prevent rotation during surgery.
Tools
Spay pack, Scalpel blade, Suture material, 1-2 extra packs of sterile hand towels for the surgeon to hand off puppies to the surgical assistant, A pre-warmed tub for puppies once they are stable, Bulb syringe and several pipettes to suction out nares and oral

Patient is positioned in Dorsal recumbency leaning towards the doctor at a 40-45% angle with both front and hind feet tied to a wall or a gate.
5- Recumbent ventral paramedian celiotomy - Similar to the to ventral midline celiotomy except that the incision is placed more parallel to the linea alba like you would in a canine or feline.
6- Ventrolateral celiotomy- Similar again to the other ventral approaches is used more frequently on older patients. The patient is positioned in right lateral recumbency with the hind legs extended straight back and the front legs pulled out and forward. This position uses a curvilinear incision that is placed parallel to the last rib lateral to the umbilicus and goes at an angle backwards towards the patients inguinal area. This is helpful when trying to cut around a patient with large udders.
7/8- Standing or recumbent left oblique celiotomy - Very similar to the left paralumbar celiotomy except that the incision begins in front of and ventrally to the tuber coxae and goes at an angle forward and up at a 45% angle to the last rib. This technique allows for a larger incision then the others. The patient must be able to stand through the whole procedure or placed in left recumbency with proper restraint

If the horse is to be standing during the castration, the horse has to be in good health with both testicles descended, and the patient must be big enough for the doctor to be able to lean under the horses abdomen to remove the testicles. So this can not be done on miniature horses. The patient also has to be well enough trained to be able to be restrained properly with a twitch without fighting the technician and the doctor to ensure that he does not hurt himself or anyone involved, but this allows the patient to forego full anesthesia and can be done in the field instead of in a clinic. If the horse needs to be sedated or the doctor feels like it is safer to do so, the patient is placed in lateral recumbency with the hind legs tied straight down so they are out of the

    He was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A rectal catheter was placed prior to draping the patient and a Foley catheter was placed on the field using a septic technique. A midline infraumbilical incision approximately 2cm in length was made. The section was carried down to level of the fascia, which was incised in the midline. The space of Retzius was developed bluntly with the index finger and then the peritoneum was swept cephalad to allow pararectal 12mm trocar placement bilaterally. These were placed and the balloon trocar was placed in the midline incision. Subsequently under lapascropic vision, the space was developed such that the pubis was identified. The…

    PROCEDURE: The patient was placed in the supine position on the operating room table, where her right hand and forearm were prepped with Betadine and draped in a sterile fashion. We infiltrated the thenar crease area with 1% Xylocaine, and once adequate anesthesia had been achieved, we exsanguinated the hand and forearm with an Esmarch bandage. We then created a longitudinal incision just at the ulnar aspect of the thenar crease and carried the dissection down through the subcutaneous tissue. We identified the transverse carpal ligament and incised this both proximally and distally until we were certain that it was completely released. We identified the median nerve and found that it was free. We did spread the soft tissues surrounding it gently.…

    Advances in modern science have had great impacts on our ability to understand how matter and energy cycle throughout systems. The cycling throughout networks can be explained by the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy, which states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. This cycle applies to many things, such as energy cycling through a food web, carbon traveling through the biosphere in the carbon cycle, and the movement of energy and materials that are used during photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The cycling of matter and energy is essential for life and has great effects on a number of processes.…

    Before the veterinarian can begin the procedure, the female animal has to be fully unconscious so that she won’t move or feel any pain while the surgery is being done. The animal is injected with a sedative and general anesthetic drugs to make it go to sleep. When the anesthesia has kicked in, an endotracheal tube is placed down its main airway to help it breathe and keep its airway clear of vomit or other secretions. The animal is now kept under anesthesia…

    SPINAL CORD ANATOMY VERTEBRAE Vertebral column is central bony pillar of the body. It is composed of 33 vertebrae; 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccygeal. Sacral hiatus is th th formed because of incomplete 5 and sometime 4 sacral laminae. A typical vertebra consists of a rounded body anteriorly and a vertebral arch posteriorly (arch consists of two pedicles and two laminae). The vertebral arch encloses the vertebral canal through which the spinal cord is running. Seven processes arise from the arch: one spinous, two transverse and four articular. The gap between two pedicles forms the intervertebral foramen which transmits the spinal nerves and blood vessels(Fig). LIGAMENTS  Anterior and posterior longitudinal ligament: Both these ligaments start from the skull to sacrum and are attached on the anterior and posterior surface of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral disks.  Ligamentum flavum:It connects the laminae of two adjacent vertebrae and is pierced during spinal anesthesia or lumber puncture.  Interspinous & supraspinous ligament (ligament nuchae):It connects the supraspinous and intraspinous processes. SPINAL CORD Spinal cord is an elongated, cylindrical and greyish white structure of central nervous system. It hangs in the vertebral canal, surrounded by meninges and cerebrospinal fluid. It is continuous above with medulla oblongata and terminates inferiorly in adults at lower border of first lumber vertebra. In children; it ends at upper border of third lumber vertebra. Its length is approximately 45 cm in adults. Blood supply is from anterior spinal artery, two posterior spinal arteries and from the branches of cervical, intercostal and lumber arteries. The artery of Adamkiewicz arises from the left side at lower thoracic or upper lumber level and supplies the lower two thirds of spinal cord.  There are thirty one pairs of spinal nerves (8 cervical, 12 thoracic,…
