RESUMO
In this report, we describe a simple, safe, and efficacious technique for orchiectomy and scrotal ablation with the use of a carbon dioxide light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) in sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps). The study population included nine sugar gliders, ages 2-24 mo, presented for orchiectomy. After induction of general anesthesia, orchiectomy and scrotal ablation were performed by severing the scrotal stalk with the laser. All sugar gliders were discharged the same day. Mean anesthesia time was 6.09 +/- 0.94 min. Mean surgery time was 15.11 +/- 8.39 sec, and mean recovery time was 4.11 +/- 3.60 min. With an outlier removed, mean recovery time was 2.95 +/- 1.03 min. No serious postoperative surgical complications were observed. The technique described is a simple procedure with rapid surgical and recovery times that has the potential to become the standard procedure for orchiectomy and scrotal ablation in sugar gliders.

Introducción. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los resultados obtenidos en el tratamiento de la enfermedad pilonidal crónica mediante la técnica de exéresis en bloque y marsupialización. Pacientes y métodos. Desde febrero de 1996 a noviembre de 1999 se ha intervenido a un total de 375 pacientes de sinus pilonidal crónico en régimen ambulatorio. Se analizan la técnica, la morbilidad y la tasa de recurrencia. Resultados. Las complicaciones fueron hemorragia en un 4 por ciento y dolor en el 1,3 por ciento. Tras un período de seguimiento medio de 4 años (mínimo 2, máximo 6 años), la tasa de recidivas ha sido del 1,6 por ciento (6 pacientes). Conclusiones. La marsupialización es la técnica más adecuada para el tratamiento del sinus pilonidal crónico debido a que se producen un menor número de complicaciones y una menor tasa de recidivas con respecto a otras técnicas, con un plazo de cicatrización relativamente corto, y además es posible realizarla de forma ambulatoria.

An eight-year-old Victorian koala was presented with a discharging mandibular sinus of at least one month duration. On examination, a dental abscess of the right mandibular incisor tooth was found. During the course of endodontic treatment, a size 2 Gates Glidden bur separated from the shank and was lodged in the canal. Due to the anatomy of the tooth the bur could not be removed and an apicoectomy was performed. Following the apicoectomy (follow-up period two years), the periapical pathology resolved.
