Enterectomía secundaria a encarcelación por hernia inguinal, en un canino hermafrodita. Estudio de caso.

Abstract

Canine patient of the Schnauzer breed, 12 years old, whole, who was admitted referred from another veterinarian with a diagnosis of incarcerated inguinal hernia. The clinical examination shows a decayed patient with evident overgrowth in the hypogastrium in the inguinal area, soft content and hernial ring consistent with possible hernia are detected by palpation. It was also determined that it was a hermaphrodite patient through physical examination. Imaging diagnosis was made by ultrasound and abdominal radiography, confirming the diagnosis of incarcerated inguinal hernia. The therapeutic plan consisted of performing an exploratory laparotomy where prolonged intestinal necrosis was produced due to incarceration, enterectomy was performed and simultaneous ovariohysterectomy and orchiectomy of an abdominal testis. The patient recovered satisfactorily from the surgery and progressed favorably at home.
