Abstract
Bipolar vessel sealing (BVS) devices are being used increasingly in veterinary medicine. The objective was to determine whether the use of a BVS device in prescrotal open orchiectomy of dogs reduced surgical time, postoperative pain and surgical site complications compared to ligation with suture. Fifty medium to large breed dogs admitted for elective castration were randomly assigned to either the ligation or BVS groups. Duration of surgery, pain score at postoperative 15 minutes, 1, 2, and 24 hours, and surgical site swelling and bruising scores at 24 hours were compared. Duration of surgery was shorter (P˂0.001) in the BSV group (median 8.30; range 7.03 to 10.17 minutes) than the ligation group (median 10.18; range 7.47 to 12.33 minutes). There was a significant effect of age (r=0.458, P=0.021) and body weight (r=0.432, P=0.031) of the animal on the duration of surgery in the BVS group. Lower pain scores were observed in the BVS group at postoperative 15 minutes (P=0.001) and 1 hour (P=0.045). Pain scores were not different between groups at 2 hours and 24 hours (P˃0.05). The surgical site swelling score was lower (P=0.034) in the BVS group (0.24 ± 0.09) compared to the ligation group (0.72 ± 0.17). A lower bruising score (P=0.015) was observed in the BVS group (0.44 ± 0.13) than in the ligation group (1.16 ± 0.22). The use of BVS method was associated with significantly shorter surgery times and lower postoperative pain and surgical site complications than traditional ligation technique in canine open orchiectomy.

Abstract
Bipolar damar kapama (BDK) cihazları veteriner hekimlikte artarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada köpeklerin preskrotal açık orşiektomide bir bipolar damar kapama (BDK) cihazının kullanılmasının cerrahi süre, portoperatif ağrı ve cerrahi bölge komplikasyonlarını azaltıp azaltılamayacağının sütur ligasyonu ile karşılaştırılarak belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Elektif kastrasyon amacıyla başvuran 50 orta ve büyük ırk köpek rastgele ligasyon ve BDK gruplarına ayrılmıştır. Cerrahi süre, 15. dakika, 1, 6 ve 24 saatlerde portoperatif ağrı ve 24. saatte cerrahi bölge şişlik ve morluk skorları karşılaştırılmıştır. Cerrahi süre BDK grubunda (medyan 8.30; aralık 7.03 to 10.17 minutes) ligasyon grubundan (medyan 10.18; aralık 7.47 to 12.33 dakika) daha kısa bulunmuştur. Bipolar damar kapama grubunda köpeklerin yaş (r=0.458, P=0.021) ve vücut ağırlığı (r=0.432, P=0.031) cerrahi süreyi etkilemiştir. Bipolar damar kapama grubunda postoperatif 15. dakika (P=0.001) ve 1. saatte (P=0.045) ligasyon grubundan daha düşük ağrı skorları gözlenmiştir. Cerrahi bölge şişlik skoru BDK grubunda (0.24 ± 0.09) ligasyon grubuna (0.72 ± 0.17) kıyasla düşük (P=0.034) olmuştur. Bipolar damar kapama grubunda (0.44 ± 0.13) ligasyon grubundan (1.16 ± 0.22) daha düşük morluk skoru (P=0.168) gözlenmiştir. Köpeklerin açık orşiektomisinde BDK yönteminin kullanılması geleneksel ligasyon tekniğine kıyasla daha kısa cerrahi süre ve daha düşük postoperatif ağrı ve cerrahi bölge komplikayonları ile sonuçlanmaktadır.
