Bilateral traumatic orchitis with unilateral inguinal
hernia in a stallion, Onl J Vet Res., 19(12): 813-816, 2015. A 7 year old stallion with a history of
being kicked in the inguino-scrotal region and signs of moderate colic was referred for examination. A large scrotal swelling with signs of moderate colic pain were
evident. Ultrasonographic examination revealed
intestine and blood clots in the hernial sac with
bilateral severe orchitis. The right testis was
removed by inguinal incision closed castration without removing the inguinal
ring. Open castration of the left testis was done as the tunica vaginalis was
ruptured. Blood clots probably from severely injured testicular vasculature
were removed from the hernial sac. Parts of the
jejunum were replaced and the ring was closed. The stallion was treated for 7
and 5 days with broad-spectrum antibiotic and NSAID’s respectively. No complications were
observed during a 2 month follow-up study.
Key Words- Bilateral orchitis, scrotal hernia, stallion.
