Aural haematoma is an accumulation of blood in between the skin and cartilage of the ear. It usually appears as fluid-filled swelling on the concave surface of Pinna. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the incidence of aural haematoma in dogs and to compare stapling and polypropylene sutures for treatment of aural hematoma in dogs. Among the 36 dogs presented for treatment of aural haematomas to the Veterinary Hospital, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad during 2019-2020, the high incidence was noticed in males, in non-descript dogs and between 6-9 years of age. Here, 12 dogs were then randomly divided into two groups i.e., Group-I (Suturing with Polypropelene, n=6) and Group - II (Stapling, n=06) according to the surgical treatment they received. The mean total time required for the application of staples in Group II (6.48 ± 1.52 min) was very less when compared to suturing in Group I (21.67 ± 1.91 min). The mean healing time required for complete healing of the surgical wound was very less in Group II - stapling technique (11.68 ± 1.17 days) as against suturing in Group I (18.92 ± 1.89 days). The lower inflammatory response (oedema/inflammation, oozing/discharge, redness, pain) was seen in Group II than Group I. Results for cosmetics were found to be better in Group II as compared to Group I. It was concluded that surgical skin staples were superior to polypropylene sutures for the treatment of aural haematoma in dogs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
