The aim of the study was to compare two laparotomy approaches (flank and midventral). Ten (n = 10) apparently healthy goats of different breeds and sex, average age of 12 ± 2.1 months, and average weight of 13.4 ± 2 kg were used for the investigation. The goats were randomly divided into flank and midventral groups, each group comprising five goats (n = 5). Standard aseptic laparotomy was performed under lumbosacral epidural anaesthesia with mild sedation. Postsurgical wound score showed significant difference (P < 0.05) in erythema at 18-24 hours and 10-14 days after surgery between the two approaches; significant difference of dehiscence between the two groups was also recorded at 10-14 days after surgery. Total white blood cells (WBC) and lymphocytes counts were significantly different (P < 0.05) at the first and second week after surgery. There was significant difference of platelets critical value and platelets dimension width at the first and second week after surgery. Significant difference of packed cells volume between the two approaches was also recorded one week after surgery. It was concluded that midventral laparotomy approach can be conveniently and safely performed under aseptic precautions without fear of intra- and postoperative clinical problems.
本研究的目的是比较两种剖腹术方法（侧腹和腹正中）。选用10只（n = 10）不同品种和性别的健康山羊，平均年龄为12 ± 2.1个月，平均体重为13.4 ± 2千克用于研究。将山羊随机分为侧腹组和腹正中组，每组5只山羊（n = 5）。在腰骶部硬膜外麻醉并轻度镇静的情况下进行标准无菌剖腹术。术后伤口评分显示，两种方法在术后18 - 24小时和10 - 14天的红斑方面存在显著差异（P < 0.05）；两组在术后10 - 14天的伤口裂开情况也有显著差异。术后第一周和第二周，白细胞（WBC）总数和淋巴细胞计数有显著差异（P < 0.05）。术后第一周和第二周，血小板临界值和血小板体积宽度有显著差异。术后一周，两种方法的红细胞压积也有显著差异。结论是，在无菌预防措施下，腹正中剖腹术方法可以方便、安全地实施，无需担心术中及术后的临床问题。
