bladder stone removal

[horsesurgeon]

No just clipped. Shaving causes microabrasions that can potentiate infection.

[booliesaurus]

Just wondering shouldn't the horse have been shaven before the procedure to minimise risk of infection?

[thunderman98]

@3:28 mmmmmmm!!!!....FALAFEL!!!!!

[marialawson7]

wow...my little jack russell is having this surgery monday...iam scared to death for her!!

this horses stone was huge! omg!!!

[FDameion]

i hope you save these stones.. i bet you could sell them on ebay

[MrJoedonbaker1]

Job well done. Very calm and confident.

[Korigetsu1991]

iimagine trying to piss tht thing out...........OUCH!!

[horsesurgeon]

No , alive and well. Still alive and well today.

[awesomekid5436]

was the horse dead while u did this?

[horsesurgeon]

There are a lot of very large blood vessels in the area that are embedded in fat and can't be seen. If you use a scalpel blade and sever one of them they retract back into the tissue where they can't be retrieved, and the horse bleeds to death. The technique used here is called blunt dissection, and it is the safe and only way to do this surgery.

[adams77ify]

Its a little rough with the tearing don't you think? You could have just cut it open instead of tearing it.

[CHEVYedsf]

@adams77ify He did say that there's alot of vessels in the fat that if cut, retract back into the tissue and cant be found again and the horse would bleed out.

[nagato113]

I've seen lots of surgery videos. But y are the surgeons soo rough? Horse or human.the body is sensitive

[monstermash401]

why use my medical tools, when i can just rip with my fingers?1?!

[horsesurgeon]

Same same the whole way through

[petrucha1983]

I want them to cut the stone in half so I can see what's inside. SO GROSS but so fascinating.

[petrucha1983]

Why am I obsessed with watching this video?? It's fascinating to me.

[TheMostAwesomeKid23]

Im on a flying hippo. Am I high?

[horsesurgeon]

That is correct.

[Messyman16]

upon further inspection the vet saw a sword in that bladder stone, and when he pulled it out he became the king of England

[utubenoob78]

dude , he removed the horses nut on accident...

[wearwolf44]

Theat Was Bigg !

[burfm]

So a bladder stone only forms when there's an infection? This is like a car accident; I don't want to watch it but I keep doing it over and over.

[horsesurgeon]

It smells like stale wee-wee.

[heldenkatze]

can I have the stone?

[iPodfilledwithnoodle]

I just realized it was a horse I thought it was a really ashy black guy

[PeterVanVoorhis]

That's a big dick!

[AlyfromtheWoods]

Looked like that horse was growing coral in its bladder. xp

[LegoGuy12994]

@AlyfromtheWoods what was mother nature thinking' growing coral in horse's bladder...

[Eros983]

WHY CANT I STOP WATCHING

[cautionthisissparta]

Oh god what

[TSM8088]

Looks like a sea urchin.

[PsyPstorm]

How many guys yelped when the man said "camera up his penis".

[AnnaSpanna11]

looks so rough D:

[horsesurgeon]

They grow there cos there urine is full of calcium, cos their diet is full of calcium

[sammylife12]

what stone, from the ground? it ate the stone?

[xeramox]

who want a steak?

[horsesurgeon]

Yep, its like pumice stone.

[raybondpink]

is the stone hard?

[thatoneguy589]

the game

[911toothache]

ITS A SCOTCH EGG!! xD

hahahahahhahahahahhaha :P

but i feel sorry for that horse :(

[911toothache]

for some reason when they first cut into the horse, it reminded me of cutting into dry shiitake mushrooms... o_____O"

[MissCattington]

When I woke up this morning I never imagined that I'd see the inside of a horses penis by the end of the day.

[BleuberryIceCream]

The penis is SURRREEEE long.

[Tinni904]

y guys are to rough

[renegadeericp23]

I hate horses they piss me off and there shit smells

[numbstateofennui]

If I cut that thing out I'd be torn between using it as a paperweight

and putting it on a bun with some cheese, lettuce and tomato and giving it to my mum...never mind; that decision would be easy. Crazy bitch.

[geckohead135]

EEWW!!! that thing is huge... looks like some type of treat.

[beccababy73]

I cannot believe how they RIPPED at the flesh of the horse. How awful, and unprofessional.

[numbstateofennui]

@beccababy73 How do you know how to perform an op on a horse? Are you a surgeon or just a PETA troll? Did you see how DEEP they had to go?!?!?

[horsesurgeon]

2/0 in the bladder and skin. 1 maxon in the aponeurosis.

[ninjacops100]

@horsesurgeon I love your veterinary videos, doc. Great job.

[CHEVYedsf]

Just out of curiosity, what size suture are you using?

[CHEVYedsf]

I really want to be a horse surgeon. I cant wait to go back to school and finish my degree! :D

[AweSomo84]

keep drinking redbull and this will go out of your penis 2 :)

[heartsforhearts123]

That looked like the sponge you

Use to clean oil off a pot

[willowbranwen]

Oh dear, that looked like a massive stone. I can't imagine the pain the pony must have been in. How long would it taken to have grown that big? Wonderful videos I must say, thank you.

[ilovetodance821]

Oh my god. I don't know why I'm watching this. Haha

[darkfishy87]

it looked like a crab cake

[ThisWillLeaveaMark]

I had one removed with ultra sound. The pain was off the chain. Can't imagine what that Horse went through. A Horse can't tell ya it hurts when I pee. They took good care of that animal, I'm sure it wasn't cheap.

[jazziscool123]

@Mantiiez94 wtf? wow...

[Mantiiez94]

@jazziscool123 What I'm trying to say is when I first watched this, I thought it was a guy's testicle that have been cut off. The black guy testicle, not trying to be racist here.

[horsesurgeon]

I hope its just all over. i find the thought of eternity quite daunting.

so long as I don't inadvertently end up in horse heaven, Im'm happy. There are a lot of angry castrates waiting for me up there.

[sluggo06]

What do u think happens after we die?

[GuigoLoko131]

0:48 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[Jude74]

Looks like Sonic the Hedgehog.

[mrrogue72]

Amazing, great work.

[horsesurgeon]

The cuts have been there for months. They are indeed caused by trauma from the stone. The stone is quite firmly attached to the lining of the bladder. It has to be squeezed out because this is as far out of the incision the bladder will come, and if we drop it and contaminate the abdomen, the horse will die from peritonitis. Gotta do what you gotta do....

[xXMeecrobXx]

why you squeeze it so hard out? the christals on the stone are cutting the whole inside of the bladder so there are many little cuts and scatchens this makes the pain much more

[mrrogue72]

@xXMeecrobXx Let's just leave it in there, for christ's sake. Cry me a river.Leave it to the horsesurgeon and go cry to the assholes over at PETA.

[horsesurgeon]

Yep, the sutures stay in - they are dissolvable, and disappear over a period of a few months.

[wessonic]

@horsesurgeon Can a kidney stone dissolve inside a human bladder?

[horsesurgeon]

In our area, its lucerne

[vgoth100]

When you say horses have a lot of calcium in the diet, I'm curious about that...where from? I didn't think grain and even rich hay had that much calcium...

[HattieLovesCattie]

@vgoth100 Alot of ppl bodies make extra calcium.

[lollipop3579]

wow...thats amazing! :)

but poor horse!

[horsesurgeon]

Better out than in.

[lollipop3579]

wow...that's amazing....

and i didnt know you can also do it from the back!

fascinating! :)

[lilacwinteraire]

How long did the surgery last? Just curious, because I've never actually seem one done on their backs before.. I've only seen a microscopic and hock surgeries. How long was the recovery?

[horsesurgeon]

It took about 25 minutes, although the whole process takes about two hours, by the time they are anaesthetised, clipped scrubbed, operated on, and woken up.

[horsesurgeon]

no worrries. Its every bit as exciting as it looks.

[4554646]

@horsesurgeon wait does the stitches stay inside it?

[InuTheCat]

Wow... Thanks for posting this! It's so fascinating!

I was thinking of exploring large animal medicine as a career, but I've only had experience in small animal clinics, so it's interesting to see some of the stuff done on larger animals. :)
