Indications for fetotomy
• Dystocia cannot be solved by manipulation and forced extraction:
– Fetotomy
– Caesarean section
• The decision depends on the fetal life and economic value
![Page 2: Fetotomy in large animals · Fetotomy in large animals Prof. Ottó Szenci Department and Clinic for Production Animals Üllő Indications for fetotomy •Dystocia cannot be solved](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e725be468004d479e6bd32d/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

Indications for fetotomy
• Cesarean section:
– fetus is alive and viable
• Fetotomy
– fetus is dead
Indications for fetotomy
• After examination has revealed the presence of a dead fetus, and a safe delivery obviously cannot be made by forced traction, the fetotomy should be initiated immediately
![Page 3: Fetotomy in large animals · Fetotomy in large animals Prof. Ottó Szenci Department and Clinic for Production Animals Üllő Indications for fetotomy •Dystocia cannot be solved](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e725be468004d479e6bd32d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Indications for fetotomy
• Common fault before the decision:
– application of too great and too prolonged extractive force
– in order to avoid a CS or a fetotomy: - exerting excessive mechanical extractive force (calf-puller)
Calf-puller

Indications for fetotomy
• The single most important factor
– determining precisely the proper time to cease attempting whole delivery of the fetus per vaginum
– in some cases: difficult to make the decision
Indications for fetotomy
• Many dystocias require only partial dismemberment of the fetus
– removal of a leg
– hiplock
– abnormal fetal posture
![Page 5: Fetotomy in large animals · Fetotomy in large animals Prof. Ottó Szenci Department and Clinic for Production Animals Üllő Indications for fetotomy •Dystocia cannot be solved](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e725be468004d479e6bd32d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Advantages of fetotomy
• Rapid reduction in the size of the fetus facilitates safe delivery per vaginam
• Exposure of the dam to major abdominal surgery is avoided
• The dam is spared inhumane treatment and possible trauma associated with application of excessive force
Advantages of fetotomy
• Less aftercare is generally required
• Recovery time is shorter
• The general condition of the dam tends to remain more stable than after CS
• The monetary return is equal to that from CS

Disadvantages of fetotomy
• May require more time to perform than a CS
• May be exhausting to the obstetrician
• The obstetrician is subjected to the risk of wound from the instrument or from a sharp fragment of fetal bone
• Dangerous to dam
Unsatisfactory results of fetotomy
• Operator’s lack of experience
• Poorly designed instruments
• Improper fetotomy technique
• The use of fetotomy only as a last option

Required assistance
• Two assistants: desirable
– control tension on the saw wire
– actual sawing
– holding secure the fetatome during the fetotomy
Instruction in use of the fetatome
• After the wire has been placed:
– tension is applied to draw the wire snugly around the fetal part
– check for proper position
– wire check: not crossed or kinked
– tension on the wire must not be relaxed during the sawing
![Page 18: Fetotomy in large animals · Fetotomy in large animals Prof. Ottó Szenci Department and Clinic for Production Animals Üllő Indications for fetotomy •Dystocia cannot be solved](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042011/5e725be468004d479e6bd32d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Instruction in use of the fetatome
• After the wire has been placed (cont.):
– during sawing: first moderately slow, short, continuous strokes with moderate pressure
– after firmly seated wires: long, continuous sawing strokes with heavy pressure
– If correctly performed: can be completed in a short time
Lubrication
• Proper lubrication is often the key to success
• Suitable lubricant
– protection to the soft tissues
– protection to the hands and arms of the obstetrician
