[Dysfunction of the oviducts and salpingectomy in a boa (C. constrictor). Description of a case].
When a boa was producing lumps of proteinaceous material during labour, and administration of calcium and oxytocin failed to be effective, and lumps continued to be palpable, it was decided to perform (partial) salpingectomy. Premedication consisted in administration of metomidate, anaesthesia being produced by halothane, oxygen and nitrous oxide given by intubation with a cuffed tube. The incision was made in the median line; the fat corpuscles were separated along the abdominal veins to gain access to the coelomic cavity; those portions of the two oviducts which showed changes were resected. The abdominal wall was sutured using intradermal sutures. Dressing of the wound.
