Acepromazina associado à anestesia dos nervos pudendo e hemorroidal para exposição de pênis em bovinos e bubalinos

Abstract

The present research evaluated the association of a local anesthesia, injected through the minor isquiatic foramen, with intramuscular acepromazine to expose the penis in bovines and buffalos. Forty bovines and five buffalos between 2 and 9 years old, of varying breeds and weights, were used. Using this association, the penis and intern foreskin leaflets were adequately exposed, which permitted demonstration of technique, diagnosis and surgical treatment of many pathological processes related to these structures. This technique is easy to perform and doesn't require major experience. Thus it can be used as a routine proceeding in on-farm surgical pratices.
