“…A technique for L-OHE in llamas and alpacas in dorsal recumbency has been described (Carpenter et al 2000). To achieve hemostasis of the ovarian pedicles, laparoscopic clips were suggested, with subsequent sharp transection of the mesometrium.…”

Conventionally performed equine ovariohysterectomy (OHE) is a technically demanding surgery associated with a high degree of invasiveness and morbidity. Handassisted laparoscopic surgical technique allows introduction of a hand through a portal into the laparoscopic field to facilitate surgical manipulation while maintaining abdominal insufflation and laparoscopic visualization. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a hand-assisted laparoscopic OHE technique for dorsally recumbent horses.The surgical technique was developed in terminal (2 mares) and subsequently evaluated in 6 survival procedures. Mares were fasted 48 hours, anesthetized and positioned in dorsal recumbency for laparoscopic surgery. A hand access device (Omniport) was placed in a caudal midline laparotomy followed by 4 laparoscopic portals. Transection of the ovarian pedicle and broad ligament was achieved using a combination of a laparoscopic stapling instrument, an ultrasonically activated instrument and endoscopic clips. The genital tract was exteriorized through the laparotomy, and the body of the uterus transected and sutured in conventional pattern. Horses were evaluated through postoperative day 14 when a post mortem evaluation was performed.Four mares recuperated well after surgery, 1 mare was euthanized due to bilateral femur fractures sustained during anesthetic recovery and another developed severe pleuropneumonia. At necropsy all but one a bdominal incision was healing routinely. One mare had abscessed along the laparotomy incision and developed visceral adhesions. Uncomplicated healing of transected mesovarial, mesometrial and uterine remnants was observed in all recovered mares.

“…An alternative in this direction would be the use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), which may or may not involve the use of laparoscopic equipment 14,15 . A wide variety of techniques using 1, 2, or 3 laparoscopic portals have already been described for surgical contraception of wild animals 16–30 . In general, the results of these studies associate improved recovery and return to normal preoperative behaviors after laparoscopic interventions compared to a conventional laparotomy.…”

Similarly, nonlaparoscopic MIS techniques also aim to reduce postoperative discomfort following the principle of small incisions.…”

Objective To develop, describe, and evaluate 2 surgical techniques for contraception of free‐ranging female capybaras. Study design Prospective study. Animals Cadaveric (n = 3) and free‐ranging female capybaras (n = 21). Methods Preliminary studies of surgical anatomy were performed on 3 capybara cadavers. Two different techniques for partial salpingectomy were evaluated in free‐ranging female capybaras: bilateral minilaparotomy (LTG; n = 11) or bilateral laparoscopy (LCG; n = 10). Data concerning body weight, tubal ligation time, total surgical time, incision size, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were analyzed, as well as the clinical status and incisional healing 1 week postoperatively. Results Body weight (P = .214), ligation time of the left uterine tube (P = .901), and total surgical time (P = .473) were similar between the experimental groups. The ligation time of the right uterine tube was shorter in the LCG group (P = .0463). In the LTG, no differences were observed between the sides regarding the incision size (P = .478). No major intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred in either group. One LCG procedure had to be converted to LTG due to technical issues. All skin incisions healed without complication. Conclusion Both procedures showed similar and satisfactory outcomes. Clinical significance The proposed techniques may be a suitable alternative to conventional laparotomy for contraception of female capybaras, especially under field conditions.
