Castration in camel
Castration
Definition of Castration
Removal of the sex glands of an animal, i.e., testes in the male, or ovaries and often the uterus in the female. Castration of the female animal is commonly referred to as spaying. Castration results in sterility, decreased sexual desire, and inhibition of secondary sex characteristics. It is performed for the purpose of improving the quality of meat and decreasing the aggressiveness of farm animals.
The end.

Operative
Steps:
1. The upper
(right) testicle was pushed forward towards the midline in the prescrotal
region and was immobilized there by firmly grasping it between the fingers and
thumb of the left hand. A small incision was then made on the midline with the
right hand which was just enough to squeeze out the testicle. In case of a
small sized testicle, as seen in the young animals of 2-3 years of age; it was
difficult to perfectly stabilize it with a single hand. In such a situation,
the assistant immobilized the organ with his both hands while the operator made
a small incision exactly on the midline to exteriorize the testicle (Fig. 1).
2. After
exteriorizing the testicle, the tunica vaginalis was freed from its attachments
as high up as possible and incised longitudinally with an operating scissors.
3. The
vascular and non-vascular portions of the spermatic cord were separated from
each other through the mesorchium.
4. The
non-vascular portion was securely transfixed with USP-2 chromic catgut and
severed distal to the transfixation.
5. The
vascular portion was maximally exteriorized and was first simply ligated with
USP-2 chromic catgut and then transfixed distal to the ligature using the same
suture material and was severed below the transfixation ligature (Fig. 2). This
technique provided a full security against slippage of the ligature.
6. The lower
(left) testicle was then pushed towards the incision in the prescrotal region,
slightly incised and squeezed out. The spermatic cord was ligated and severed
the same way.
7. The skin
incision was cleaned with a sterile gauze swab and closed with one interrupted,
horizontal mattress suture using USP-2 chromic catgut, (Fig. 3). The reason for
using catgut to suture the skin incision was that it did not need to be
removed.
The end.
