The purpose of this study was the long-term evaluation of a method of surgically repairing the abnormal condition of accessory teat and gland cistern complexes in dairy cattle. A prospective evaluation of three cows that had undergone the procedure was done. These cows were evaluated from four months to one year, postoperatively. A thorough history, physical examination, contrast radiography, and ultrasonic examination were done on each cow. A retrospective evaluation of an additional 13 cows that had also undergone the procedure was obtained four months to three years following the surgery, via owner communication. The prospective portion of this study demonstrated patency of the communication between main and accessory teat cisterns. Postoperative complications included initial slow milking and mild swelling of the involved teat. These problems resolved in all cows one to two months postoperatively. None of the 16 cows that had undergone the surgery either developed or was treated for mastitis. Likewise, none of these cows was sold or slaughtered as a result of postoperative teat problems or unsatisfactory milk production. Our study demonstrated that this particular method of surgical correction of accessory teat and gland cistern complexes is effective, is esthetically acceptable, produces minimal associated complications, and preserves the milk production capacity of the gland.
本研究的目的是对一种手术修复奶牛副乳头和乳腺贮乳池复合体异常状况的方法进行长期评估。对三头接受了该手术的奶牛进行了前瞻性评估。这些奶牛在术后四个月至一年期间接受了评估。对每头奶牛都进行了全面的病史采集、体格检查、造影检查和超声检查。通过与畜主沟通，在手术后四个月至三年期间，对另外13头也接受了该手术的奶牛进行了回顾性评估。本研究的前瞻性部分表明，主乳头和副乳头贮乳池之间的连通通畅。术后并发症包括最初挤奶缓慢以及受累乳头轻度肿胀。所有奶牛在术后一至两个月这些问题均得到解决。接受手术的16头奶牛中，没有一头发生乳腺炎或因乳腺炎接受治疗。同样，这些奶牛中没有一头因术后乳头问题或产奶量不理想而被出售或屠宰。我们的研究表明，这种针对副乳头和乳腺贮乳池复合体的特定手术矫正方法是有效的，在美学上是可接受的，产生的相关并发症极少，并且保留了乳腺的产奶能力。
