“…As many as 85% of them were left hernia cases. The main limitations of the PIRS technique are generally accepted contraindications to endoscopic surgery [33]. This refers to, for example, patients whose poor general condition is a contraindication to general anesthesia and the procedure can be performed under premedication and local epidural anesthesia.…”

Background In the literature, no studies describe the use of laparoscopic techniques for inguinal hernia repair in canine clinical patients. The surgical technique-Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (PIRS) presented in this article is the world's first minimally invasive laparoscopic surgical technique for inguinal canal closure in dogs. Aim The aim of the presented study is to evaluate the possibility of employment of the laparoscopic PIRS technique in clinical practice as well as to technically evaluate its usefulness in the treatment of the inguinal hernia in dogs. The presented study describes the procedure and the results of laparoscopic treatment of 11 inguinal hernias in nine dogs (two bilateral). Methods The whole procedure is performed under camera control introduced through one umbilical trocar. The very closure of the inner inguinal ring is done with the injection needle by a small puncture over the inguinal canal with the help of which the suture material is inserted, and the canal of the operated inguinal hernia is closed. Each operated dog underwent a thorough clinical examination before surgery which was combined with ultrasound examination of the inguinal canals before, immediately after and three months after surgery. Results There was no hernia recurrence in the study period in the operated dogs and all individuals returned to full mobility immediately after recovery from anesthesia. Conclusions Due to the low invasiveness and simplicity of performance, the PIRS technique described in the study should be taken into account when choosing a treatment method for non-traumatic

Ovariectomy and ovariohysterectomy are the two most commonly used techniques for sterilisation of female small animals. In the past decade, there has been a trend towards using minimally invasive techniques in small animal surgery, and laparoscopic ovariectomy (LapOVE) has emerged as one of the most common clinical applications of laparoscopy in small animals. LapOVE offers several advantages over the open method conducted through the median coeliotomy, including reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery and less patient immobilisation. Important advantages for the operator include magnification and better visualisation of the surgical field, which increase the procedure's safety. However, high costs for the laparoscopic equipment and a rather steep learning curve may be discouraging to many veterinarians. This article outlines the most relevant aspects of LapOVE for clinical application in small animal surgery.

“…Before the laparoscopic procedure can be prepared, the surgeon must have specific knowledge about pre-existing contraindications. Contraindications in laparoscopy; It can be divided into relative or precise and anatomical or physiological (Boute and McClaran 2015). Anatomical contraindications may include difficulty in accessing the cavity, obstruction of the peritoneal or thoracic cavity, organ enlargement, intestinal distension, congenital abnormalities, and the potential for cancer to spread (Bowers and Hunter 2006).…”

The use of diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy has increased tremendously in human medicine in the last 10 years. The widespread acceptance of laparoscopy is due to technological advances in equipment and the impressive results of this noninvasive modality compared to invasive surgery. Many procedures performed in humans are accepted for veterinary medicine due to the convenience, efficiency, and low morbidity of many procedures. Techniques have been developed in veterinary medicine for noninvasive evaluation of various organs including the liver, extrahepatic biliary system, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, intestine, and genitourinary system. Biopsy procedures of these organs can be performed in most patients with minimal risk. Twenty cats of different breeds, ages, genders, and weights with abdominal complications and a history of trauma were used as study material. After the clinical examination of the patients, laparoscopic surgery was performed. Clinical examination revealed that the cases were stable. Liver, gall bladder, stomach, kidney, intestines, urinary bladder, ovary, and spleen were clearly observed during the laparoscopic examination. While almost all of the cases are not encountered with any pathology in the organs; It was observed comfortably that in one case the spleen color changed regardless of age. Laparoscopy enabled controlled cytosynthesis in some cases. This article reviews that the equipment and techniques should be required for performing laparoscopy in cats. As a result, it was concluded that laparoscopic examination yielded more successful results in the examination of abdominal organs or the application of surgical techniques on the biopsy of pathological masses compared to other diagnostic methods. Further studies with a larger group of cats should be considered to compare the efficacy of laparoscopic procedures.
