    Livestock are the back bone of growth and development of a particular country of the world especially where majority of people rely on it as main source of income, daily livelihood and draught purpose. However this vast and valuable sector can be affected by multifaceted problems and constraints which can directly and/or indirectly hamper the production and productivity of the animals. Among these factors, poor and unsatisfactory coverage of veterinary services particularly veterinary surgical management of different deformities, injuries and ailment of various origins is one of the main problems in Ethiopia. So the surgical case reports presented in this study were compiled from surgical cases presented and performed to show the significance of surgical procedures and techniques on the outcomes related to recovery from abnormality. The procedures and techniques included in these case reports were performed on domestic animals brought to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Donkey Sanctuary and Dire Veterinary Clinics with different ailments requiring surgical management during October, 2018 to June, 2019 G.C. On presentation, history, general physical examinations, clinical and laboratory findings were thoroughly assessed to determine the type of treatment and surgical intervention required. When the animal was found to require specific surgical treatment; each and every animal was well prepared for aseptic procedures and anesthetics preoperatively, before surgical procedure depending on animal species and type of surgical procedure to be conducted. The prescribed specific surgical procedure for each specific condition was performed using appropriate technique, suture material and patterns based on the requirement of the body site. After surgery, each and every animal patient was followed postoperatively and surgical complications and recovery outcomes were recorded. In this study a total of 27 animals including 33.33% (9/27) small animals and 66.67% (18/27) large animals were operated on different parts of their body at different places. Of all the operated animals, 96.30% (26/27) were recovered and cured whereas 3.70% (1/27) was died. This finding shows that surgical intervention performed by well trained veterinary surgeon under proper aseptic technique is crucial to save significant number of animals affected by life threatening conditions.

    (Addis Abeba University, 2022) Melkamu Birhanu; Jiregna Dugassa
    Livestock are one of the basic assets that provide livelihood and employment particularly for resource-poor communities in Ethiopia. However, their exploitation has been constrained by various hindering factors. Among them, poor animal feed and less coverage of veterinary services especially for the surgical treatment of different forms of congenital and acquired disorders. Surgery is an indispensable part of veterinary care though it has risks mainly associated with technical skill, inexperience, anesthetic risks, and nature of surgical procedures and animal condition. As a result, a few surgical patients may be get exposed to complications; peri, intra, and post-operations. The current study was aimed to document and compile minor and major surgical treatments and managements performed in different domestic animals presented to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Addis Ababa University, Donkey sanctuary and SPANA from september 2021 to June 2022. During study period, a total of 22 different animal species including 54% (12/22) large animals, 22% (5/22) small animals, and 22% (5/22) small ruminants were presented to different veterinary clinical centers with various ailments in the form of emergency and elective surgical treatments. Before performing and providing corresponding surgical treatments and managements, each and every case was examined carefully based on case history, clinical examination and findings. Different forms of surgical treatments were performed on animals including: cesarean section, ovariohysterectomy, herniorrhaphy, tail and penile amputation, correction of paraphimosis, excision of lymphomas, and eye enucleation, external coaptation, wound managements, rumenotomy, and surgical drainage of abscesses. From admitted surgical patients for treatment, about 86% (19/22) were completely recovered whereas 14% (3/22) of the animals were died. Besides, postoperative complications and outcome were followed and recorded. This finding indicate that, provision of aseptic surgical procedure, treatments and sound postoperative care by well-trained veterinarians on the surgery can save a significant number of life-threatening conditions in addition to improving overall animal condition

    (Addis Ababa University, 2021) Shiferaw Moltumo; Jiregna Dugassa
    Ethiopia is home for Africa's largest livestock population. A number of infectious and noninfectious diseases affect this economically important sector including pets in the country. In recent times, an increasing awareness of the importance of individual animal treatment in both the rural and urban communities, and a growing trend of keeping exotic breeds as companion pets in urban areas contribute to the increased demand in the veterinary services. These stimuli may hasten veterinary surgical treatments. The current descriptive study was carried out from November 2020 to June 2021 at Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture, Addis Ababa University to compile different surgical affections along with procedures, techniques and their outcomes in various domestic animals. The domestic animals of different species, breeds and ages with both sex category, that were originated from different raising systems in and around Bishoftu town, Ada’a district, East Shoa zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, were sampled purposively from cases admitted to VTH for various surgical treatments. During the study period, a total of twenty three surgical cases were diagnosed, undergone surgical interventions and followed up. Among these, seven cases were Bos taurus, four cases were ovis aries, one case was a Capra hircus, four cases were Canis familiaris, three cases were Felis catus, two cases were Equus asinus, one case was an Equus caballus and one case was a Camelus dromedarius. Except wound dehiscence after performing single mastectomy in a bitch, all the animals recovered with minor complications. The surgeons should be highly equipped with knowledge and skill to get successful outcome. Creating client awareness could reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications in outpatient settings.
