BookPublisher: 2017Description: 62p.Subject(s): Veterinary SurgeryDDC classification: 2945-T Dissertation note: The spleen is delicate organ which is at high risk of damage after blunt trauma to the
abdomen. Splenic accidents such as spleen rupture and splenic hemangiosarcoma, are most
common cause of intra-abdominal hemorrhage in dogs. When an incision is given on spleen there
is always a high risk of bleeding. In severe cases animal often leads to death due to massive blood
loss and hypovolemic shock. The objective of study was to check the efficacy of latest and
advanced surgical hemostats i.e., Surgicel Original and Surgicel Snow to control bleeding when
spleen is severed either accidentally or surgically. These hemostats are affordable, safe, reliable
and convenient. For this, Rabbits were arranged in three groups. Group A consisted of 4 Rabbits
on which Surgical Gauz was used. In Group B Surgicel Original was used. On rabbits of Group C
Surgicel Snow was used. Hemostasis time of all the groups was monitored and number of
leucocytes, erythrocytes, platelets AST, ALT and ALP were evaluated. The results of present study
clearly indicated that Surgicel Snow is better choice to control hemorrhage than Surgicel Original.
Therefore, when ligation and other conventional methods of controlling blood stand impractical,
Surgicel should be used to control arterial, venous and capillaries bleeding during surgery.
Conclusions
On the basis of findings of this study, it has been concluded that Surgicel Snow is better hemostat
than Surgical Original. Surgicel Snow yields ideal stoppage of hemorrhage and does not impair
vital function of spleen.
