Step 2 Trim the tissue by using forceps to grasp ribbon of tissue and apply downward pressure to stretch the area (m.o), Caslick's Index Includes What is the Caslick's Index? (m.o), Post-Operative Procedure Includes Wound Treatment (m.o), Pre- Operative Procedure Includes Prophylactic treatment (m.o), Pre-Requisite Knowledge Consists of Indications (m.o), Pre- Operative Procedure Includes Surgical scrub (m.o), Ensure stitch is not too ventral or loose to avoid interference with breeding or laceration of the Stallion's Penis respectively. Note Avoid Excessive penetration of the Stallion's Penis during natural cover in Mares with Caslick's Operation using a stallion/breeding roll, Using a sterile umbilical tape, place a single interrupted sutrure at the most ventral part of the Caslick's closure Step 7 Ensure stitch is not too ventral or loose to avoid interference with breeding or laceration of the Stallion's Penis respectively., Pre- Operative Procedure Includes Restraint (m.o), Remove the ribbon of tissue and appose the raw edges using a simple continuous suture pattern. (m.o) Step 4 To avoid excessive stress on the suture line at its ventral end during a breeding or speculum exam, a breeder's stitch may be inserted at the most ventral part of the Caslick's closure., Caslick's Index Includes Caslick's Index Calucation (m.o), General Information consists of Anatomy of the Mare Reproductive System, Caslick's Vulvoplasty Involves Intra-Operative Procedure, Intra-Operative Procedure Step 1 Using tissues scissors, remove a ribbon of muscosa, approximately 3mm wide from each vulvar labium., Pre- Operative Procedure Includes Anesthesia and Analgesia (m.o), To avoid excessive stress on the suture line at its ventral end during a breeding or speculum exam, a breeder's stitch may be inserted at the most ventral part of the Caslick's closure. Step 5 Desensitive area where stitch is placed and infiltrate2cm in all directions., Pre- Operative Procedure Includes Physical Exam. (m.o), Post-Operative Procedure Includes Episiotomy (m.o)
