Una yegua de raza caballo criollo colombiano (CCC) de 34 meses de edad fue remitida
al Centro de Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad CES, en la ciudad de Medellín
(Colombia), para la extracción quirúrgica de condroides en ambas bolsas guturales. La
paciente se intervino en estación utilizando neuroleptoanalgesia y a continuación, se
empleó la técnica Whitehouse modificado en cada bolsa gutural para extraer la totalidad
de los condroides. Posteriormente, se realizó tratamiento antibiótico y antinflamatorio
pre y post quirúrgico con trimetoprim-sulfadiazina y flunixin meglumine vía sistémica;
además, penicilina G sódica local. Luego de la intervención la paciente fue dada de alta
sin complicaciones y finalmente se evidenció la resolución completa de la condición
respiratoria. El reporte de este caso permitirá conocer con detalle la técnica Whitehouse
modificado, así como sus retos quirúrgicos y consideraciones, ya que a la fecha en Colombia
no hay otros reportes al respecto en un CCC.
A 34 months old Colombian creole mare was referred to veterinary clinic of CES University,
in Medellin (Colombia), for the surgical extraction of chondroids in both guttural
pouch. The patient was intervened by standing surgery using neuroleptanalgesia. The
modified Whitehouse extract all the chondroids. Antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatment, pre and postsurgical, was systemically administered using trimethoprim/sulfadiazine and flunixin
meglumine, as well as local sodium penicillin G. After the intervention, the patient was discharged without complications and its respiratory condition came to complete solution. This case report will allow knowing in detail the modified Whitehouse surgical
technique along with its surgical challenges and considerations. In Colombia, to date, there are no reports of its use in CCH.
