Castration of pet pigs is becoming a commonly performed procedure. However, little information is available regarding surgical techniques and complications. Medical records of 106 pet pigs admitted to 3 teaching hospitals for castration were reviewed. All descended testicles were approached pre-scrotal skin incisions, which were either closed (59.4%) or left open (22.6%). The inguinal rings were closed in 42% of cases. Of the 106 pet pigs, 4.7% developed a complication after surgery, which consisted of peri-incisional swelling. Pigs which underwent inguinal ring closure were 6.6 times more likely to develop a post-operative complication (confidence interval: 1.16 to infinity, = 0.035). Age and weight at time of castration were not significantly associated with complications ( = 0.698 and = 0.685, respectively). The results from this retrospective study suggest that castration in pet pigs is a safe procedure with a minimal rate of complications.
宠物猪去势手术正变得越来越普遍。然而，关于手术技术和并发症的信息却很少。我们回顾了3家教学医院收治的106只接受去势手术的宠物猪的病历。所有下降的睾丸均通过阴囊前皮肤切口进行处理，切口要么缝合（59.4%），要么敞开（22.6%）。42%的病例腹股沟环被关闭。在这106只宠物猪中，4.7%在手术后出现了并发症，表现为切口周围肿胀。接受腹股沟环关闭手术的猪术后出现并发症的可能性是未关闭者的6.6倍（置信区间：1.16至无穷大，P = 0.035）。去势时的年龄和体重与并发症无显著关联（P分别为0.698和0.685）。这项回顾性研究的结果表明，宠物猪去势手术是一种安全的手术，并发症发生率极低。
