Gasless Laparoscopic Ovariohysterectomy and Comparison of Serum Levels of Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Protein after Lohe and Traditional Laparoscopic Ovariohysterectomy in Bitches

Abstract

Ten mixed-breed female dogs were used in the study. Abdominal wall lifting was performed with a sterilised cotton strip. Four portal sites were used to complete gasless laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (GLOHE) procedures. The proper and suspensor ligament, ovarian pedicle, and broad ligament of the uterus, uterine artery and vein were coagulated using bipolar electrocoagulation. After the uterine body was coagulated and cut, the end of the cervix was ligated with a loop suture. Blood samples were obtained before the surgery, immediately after the procedure, and on 1, 3, and 5 d postoperatively for the determination of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP). No significant surgical complications occurred. After gasless laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy, a significantly higher serum IL-6 level was found immediately after the surgery and 1 d postoperatively when compared with the level observed after traditional laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (LOHE). However, no significant differences were observed in CRP level between GLOHE and LOHE. GLOHE proved to be a safe and feasible procedure in bitches.

“…The results of our study were compared to those of 14 previous reports . Mean age (17.4–54.60 months; range 4–138) and median age (10.5 months and 30 months) did not differ from those in the present study ( P = .869; Table ).…”

“…The results of our study were compared to those of 14 previous reports. 2,3,5,7,8,10,11,13,15,17,20,23,28,29 Mean age (17.4-54.60 months; range 4-138) and median age (10.5 months and 30 months) did not differ from those in the present study (P = .869; Table 1). The mean body weight in previous studies (range, 3-48 kg; mean range, 11.28-22.1 kg; and median range, 11 kg-21.1 kg) did not differ from the body weight in our study (P = .859, Table 1).…”

“…Silva et al 23 reported that the mean duration of NOTES and single-port laparoscopy were shorter than that in a conventional OHE group. Tapia-Araya et al 24 did not detect differences in *References 3, [6][7][8]11,13,15,17,28,29 surgical duration between procedures with a SILS-port LOE (n = 5) and those with a 3-portal LOE (n = 5). The single-port technique that will ultimately most minimize surgical duration remains unknown.…”

“…Laparoscopic surgery has gained popularity in human and veterinary surgery because of its reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery with shorter hospital stay, and superior cosmetic outcome . Laparoscopic sterilization has become a widely available alternative to open laparotomy in dogs and can be achieved via laparoscopic ovariectomy (LOE)* or laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (LOHE). † Reducing the number of ports in laparoscopic surgery minimizes tissue trauma and improves recovery in human and veterinary medicine.…”
