Comparación macroscópica de los efectos cicatrizantes del aceite de oliva extra virgen en relación al aceite ozonificado en el cierre primario de heridas postorquiectomía en la clínica veterinaria Udla

Abstract:

Because the benefits of extra virgin olive oil and ozone are known for wound healing and alternative treatment of different pathologies, it was decided to carry out the present study in the veterinary clinic of the University of the Americas in the city of Quito, with the main objective of performing the macroscopic comparison of the evolution of postsurgical wounds of 30 canines submitted to orchiectomy by means of the closed prescrotal technique. The study sample was divided into three groups identified as "control group", "olive oil group" and "ozone group". Each patient attended three controls where the wound was evaluated by means of pre-established clinical parameters, a survey for the owner and finally photographic record in each control to evaluate the evolution of the wound. Only the patients belonging to the "olive oil group" and "ozone group" were treated twice a day with previous cleaning of the wound. All patients were prescribed antibiotics and analgesics in the postoperative period. The statistical results of the project were analyzed through the IBM SPSS Statistics Viewer program, which yielded no significant results with respect to wound healing in the three groups (P value equal plus 0.05); however, macroscopically and clinically if improvement was observed in the parameter "inflammation" and "erythema" of the wounds of all patients. It is concluded that the treatment with extra virgin olive oil with and without ozone have similar benefits in terms of the primary cicatrization of postchorioctomy wounds. However, as this was a less invasive surgery compared to others, there was no significant difference with the control group. Ozone in essential oils is unstable and loses its healing and anti-inflammatory properties in a period too short to provide a highly effective treatment as desired.
