Penile Prolapse in a Pekin Duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus)

Abstract

In this case, a 7-month-old male, Pekin duck with the prolapsed phallus was presented. As a result of physical examination, amputation was decided due to the excessive necrotic areas on the phallus. The amputation process was performed on cut mode with electrosurgical monopolar cautery. Tissues were checked for hemorrhage and no evidence of bleeding was found. After the amputation process was completed, topical antibiotic were applied to the basic part of the phallus and the remained tissue was replaced into the cloaca. At the end of the first postoperative day, no clinical abnormalities were observed, and duck started to eat normally. In conclusion, amputation of prolapsed phallus may be accomplished by electracuatery. However postoperative care is important to prevent complications such as abscess.

Bir Pekin Ördeğinde Penil Prolapsı (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus)

Abstract

Bu vakada fallus prolapsı olan 7 aylık bir erkek Pekin ördeği sunulmuştur. Yapılan fizik muayene sonucunda fallustaki aşırı nekrotik alanlar nedeniyle amputasyona karar verildi. Ampütasyon işlemi kesme modundaki monopolar elektrocerrahi koter ile gerçekleştirildi Operasyon sonrası dokular kanama açısından kontrol edildi ve kanama bulgusuna rastlanılmadı. Ampütasyon işlemi tamamlandıktan sonra fallusun kök kısmına topikal antibiyotik uygulandı ve kalan doku kloakaya reddedildi. Postoperatif ilk günün sonunda klinik anormallikler gözlenmedi ve ördek normal yemeye başladı. Sonuç olarak, prolabe fallusun amputasyonu elektrokoter yöntem ile gerçekleştirilebilir. Ancak apse gibi komplikasyonları önlemek için postoperatif bakım önemlidir.
