Abstract Background Umbilical vein bacterial infections may cause liver abscesses during bacterial ascent. A single liver abscess can be surgically treated by marsupialization, but a risk of recurrence or non-healing remains. Moreover, there is no effective treatment for multiple abscesses. Case presentation A 17-day-old Holstein female calf exhibited reduced general condition, swelling and drainage of the umbilicus, and pressure sores in the area of the carpus, resulting in reluctance to stand up. The umbilicus showed pain at palpation; deep abdominal palpation indicated a swollen umbilical vein coursing from the umbilicus toward the liver. Ultrasonography confirmed a swollen umbilical vein with pus accumulation and multiple abscesses in the liver. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) examination confirmed that the swollen umbilical vein with fluid continued to the liver, and multiple unenhanced lesions, most likely abscesses, were confirmed in the liver. Partial hepatectomy was performed to remove as many abscesses as possible. For the resection, a vessel sealing device (LigaSureTM) was used to excise a part of the left liver lobe. As we could not remove all the abscesses in the liver during the operation, cefazolin sodium (5 mg/kg) was administered for 14 days after surgery. Post-operatively, blood accumulation was observed in the abdominal cavity, but no signs of peritonitis were found. The calf returned to the farm on day 38 after surgery. Follow-up information was obtained after 1 year, and complications were not reported. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first report of partial hepatectomy using a vessel sealing device for a calf with multiple liver abscesses. This case report suggests that the combination of partial hepatectomy and long-term administration of antibacterial drugs may restore the health of calves with multiple liver abscesses.

Abstract Background: Canine orchiectomy involves making an incision in the prescrotal area, exteriorizing both testes via the same incision, ligating the blood vessels and spermatic cord, removing the testes, and suturing the incision. A briefer durations of anesthesia and surgery and decrease of postoperative morbidity could be obtain using a vessel sealing device. The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility and safety of orchiectomy in dogs by a scrotal approach with the use of a vessel-sealing device. Scrotal orchiectomy was performed with the use of monopolar electrosurgery device in pure cutting mode and a vessel-sealing device. Data were collected prospectively for the following categorical variables: breed, age, body weight, lifestyle, surgical time, indications for surgery and complications.Results: No complications were reported in 187 of 200 (93.5%). The complications documented were automutilation (AM), incisional complications (IC) and scrotal complications (SC). AM complications (11/200 [5.5%]) and SC complications (2/200 [1%]) were treated without additional surgery and resolved by day 10 after the surgery. Procedure duration (2,1 minutes± 0.4 minutes) was briefer than traditional castration duration reported in literature (3.5 ± 0.4 minutes).Conclusions: Results suggested that canine orchiectomy by scrotal approach with the use of a vessel-sealing device was feasible and safe. Furthermore, it was associated with a low complication rate and had the benefit of reduced surgical time and postoperative morbidity. This technique is promising for widespread application in veterinary surgery to help with haemostasis in canine orchiectomy.
