摘要
Neutered male ferrets are occasionally presented with cystic prostatic disease or prostatic abscesses, most often secondary to elevated, circulating sex steroid hormones caused by adrenocortical disease. Useful features of the omentum, such as tissue adhesion, angiogenesis, and stimulation of the immune system, can be used for surgical treatment of large prostatic cysts and abscesses. Two cases of prostatic abscess omentalization are described. In one case, the underlying cause was a sustentacular (Sertoli cell) tumor associated with a retained testicle. In the other case, adrenocortical disease was determined to be the underlying disease. The first ferret had a residual prostatic abscess 5 months after omentalization. A small, residual prostatic cyst was detected by ultrasound in the second ferret 9 weeks after surgery. Although omentalization may be an effective technique to surgically manage large prostatic cysts and abscesses in ferrets, clinical studies comparing omentalization with other surgical and nonsurgical methods are needed in this species.

绝育的雄性雪貂偶尔会出现囊性前列腺疾病或前列腺脓肿，最常见于继发性高血压，由肾上腺皮质疾病引起的循环性类固醇激素。网膜的有用特征，如组织粘连，血管生成和免疫系统的刺激，可用于大型前列腺囊肿和脓肿的外科治疗。描述了两例前列腺脓肿网状化。在一个案例中，根本原因是与保留的睾丸相关的支持性肿瘤（支持细胞）肿瘤。在另一种情况下，肾上腺皮质疾病被确定为潜在疾病。第一个雪貂在网膜化后5个月有残留的前列腺脓肿。手术后9周，在第二个雪貂中通过超声检测到一个小的残留前列腺囊肿。尽管手术治疗可能是手术治疗雪貂大型前列腺囊肿和脓肿的有效方法，该物种需要比较其他手术和非手术方法的临床研究。
