NAL Call Number: SF601.A5
Abstract: Minimally invasive surgery has been found in
humans to reduce pain, incidence of infections, and duration of
hospitalization. Minimally invasive procedures are also being described in
veterinary medicine. Laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (OHE) was performed on
nine, healthy, intact female dogs using a Harmonic scalpel. Creatine kinase
values were determined both before and 12 hours following the laparoscopic OHE;
the magnitude of the difference between preoperative and postoperative creatine
kinase values did not correlate with length of operative time, length of
incisions, or amount of hemorrhage. Complications included one dog that had an
omental herniation that was primarily repaired and one dog with seroma
formation. Median surgical time for all dogs was 60 minutes (range, 35 to 100
minutes).

Abstract: Our goal was to find a very good model for
gynecological laparoscopic operations. The main purpose of the operations was
to perform the same types of laparoscopic operations as we use daily in our
clinical practice at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. UMSD. The
uterus of female dogs seemed to be ideal for this work. In every experiment we
carried out 10 different interventions on identical part of different dog
uterus. The operations were performed at identical time period of day (a.m.).
The weight of the female dogs were similar. The anaesthesia was also performed
the same way in every case. The main purpose of the operations was to find some
significant changes or differences between the 10 different surgical
techniques. The hystological investigation were carried out with normal
microscope and electron microscope.

Abstract: OBJECTIVES : To evaluate technique,
complication rates, postoperative pain scores, and clinical outcomes in dogs
after laparoscopic ovariohysterectomy (LOVH) or traditional ovariohysterectomy
(OVH). STUDY DESIGN : Prospective clinical trial. ANIMALS OR SAMPLE POPULATION
: Thirty-four intact female dogs, weighing 2.4-31 kg. METHODS : LOVH (16 dogs)
was performed by ligation of the uterus and ovaries with surgical wire, and
then removal by an assisted laparoscopic technique. OVH was performed in 18
dogs. Subjective and objective pain scores were assigned at 0, 2, 8, and 24
hours. Surgical time, complications, and pain and incision scores were
evaluated. Dogs were followed for up to 6 months. RESULTS : The mean surgical
time for LOVH (120 minutes; range, 47-175 minutes) was significantly longer
than for OVH (69 minutes; range, 25-140 minutes). Significantly lower pain
scores (subjective, in 2 of 10 categories; objective, in 8 of 10 categories)
were identified with LOVH at 1 or more time periods. Surgical complications
with LOVH were postoperative fever and anorexia (1 dog), minor splenic (3) or
pedicle hemorrhage (4), intermittent vaginal hemorrhagic discharge (1), and suture
reaction (3). Surgical complications with OVH were hemorrhage from an ovarian
pedicle requiring reoperation (1 dog), dehiscence of the abdominal wall (1),
and seroma (1). Anesthetic complications included hypotension in 8 OVH dogs and
1 LOVH dog, and hypothermia in 4 OVH and 9 LOVH dogs. The mean incision scores
were lower for LOVH at all time periods. CONCLUSION : LOVH was performed
successfully in young nonparous dogs >10 kg. Surgical time and complication
rates were greater; however, LOVH postoperative pain scores were </=OVH
scores. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: LOVH is a potentially safe surgical alternative to
traditional OVH in dogs. Equipment cost and necessity for more than 1 surgeon
may limit its usefulness in small animal practice.

Abstract: A one-step iodophor skin preparation solution
was compared to chlorhexidine gluconate application as a pre-operative skin
preparation method in 100 animals undergoing elective ovariohysterectomy.
Pre-operative and intra-operative skin cultures demonstrated no difference in
antiseptic efficacy. No animal in the study demonstrated signs of systemic infection,
and no adverse local effects from either antiseptic were seen. The iodophor
solution evaluated (DuraPrep) is a safe and effective pre-operative skin
preparation agent in small animal patients undergoing clean surgical
procedures.

Abstract: A new, less invasive technique of
cryptorchidectomy in the dog is described. The technique makes use of a
laparoscope equipped with a telescope for diagnostic purposes (identification
of testicle site); and then of a forceps to grasp the deferent duct and force
the testicle through a small, laparotomic incision, 2.5 cm long, in the
parapenien site. Variations, according to the kind of cryptorchidism (bilateral
or unilateral, abdominal, inguinal), are also discussed. The operation ends
with suturing of the vascular stem of the testicle (resorbable sutures) and
orchiectomy. This technique is easy to carry out and has the advantage of not
being invasive since it does not involve a median laparotomy preceded by
overturning of the penis. Three operations have been performed: two on cases of
unilateral cryptorchidism and one on a case of bilateral cryptorchidism.

Abstract: The literature on autotransplantation of the
ovary is briefly reviewed with emphasis on the portal vein drainage area as the
transplant site. An experiment is reported whereby bitches hearing such grafts
were compared to entire and ovariectomised subjects with regard to endocrine
status and behaviour. It is concluded that autotransplantation of the ovary to
the portal vein drainage area may be a promising method of abolishing oestrus
and yet avoiding the eunuchoid syndrome as is seen in ovariectomised subjects.

Abstract: A castration technique that does not employ
suture material for ligation of the spermatic vessels was evaluated. The
technique consisted of making a series of surgeon's knots with the severes was
deference, in one hand, and the testicular vessels on the other hand. In
castration of healthy genitalia. the use of this techniques is highly
recommended because this procedure have the advantages of using no suture
material and of being rapidly performed with practice.

Abstract: Two dogs with pyometra were treated by
laparoscopy assisted ovariohysterectomy. Hemostasis of the mesovarium was
achieved with an ultrasonic scalpel and hemoclips. Both ovaries and the uterus
were exposed via a 10-mm caudal port that was enlarged to 3 cm and the uterine
cervix was excised after ligation of the uterine arteries. These cases were the
first report on ovariohysterectomy for pyometra by laparoscopy assisted surgery
in the veterinary field.

Abstract: A brief introductory part is followed by a
discussion of the age of the bitch and that stage of the oestrous cycle, during
which ovariohysterectomy can best be performed. The various indications for
ovariectomy and ovariohysterectomy are reviewed. A number of important
anatomical features are briefly referred to and the technique of
ovariohysterectomy is described in detail. Attention is paid to a number of
complications such as haemorrhage during or after operation and the escape of infected
contents of the uterus into the abdominal cavity. Finally, the possible effects
of ovariohysterectomy, such as a gain in weight, a change of character,
incontinence of urine and the appearance of an infantile vulva associated with
pruritus vulvae, are discussed.

NAL Call Number: 41.8 Am3A
Abstract: Ejaculates of surgically vasectomized cats
had spermatozoa as long as 49 days after vasectomy, indicating that spermatozoa
in the ejaculate from intact cats originated from the epididymides and vasa deferentia.
Intraepididymal injections of an aqueous solution of 4.5% chlorhexidine
digluconate into the caudae of the epididymides induced a lasting oligospermia
or azoospermia in 7 of 8 cats. Of these 7 cats, 4 were azoospermic and 1 cat
had no intact spermatozoa in his ejaculates 140 days after treatment. The
method of chemical vasectomy by intraepididymal injection of sclerosing agents
appears to be safe and may be suitable for large-scale sterilization programs
for controlling the growth of the feline population.

Abstract: En bloc ovariohysterectomy, a technique that
involves ovariohysterectomy before hysterotomy and removal of the neonates, was
performed on 63 animals (37 dogs and 26 cats). Intraoperative complications
were limited to 1 cat that bled excessively during surgery and was later found
to have a clotting disorder. Postoperative complications included anemia that
required blood transfusion in 3 cats, uroperitoneum in 1 dog, and death in 1
cat. The rate of neonatal survival (75% for dogs and 42% for cats) was similar
to that documented by previous studies of medical and surgical management of
dystocia. We concluded that en bloc ovariohysterectomy is a safe and effective
alternative to cesarean section for surgical treatment of dystocia in dogs and
cats.

Abstract: The efficacy of a 1-step surgical preparation
technique for skin of dogs prior to elective ovariohysterectomy was evaluated.
Dogs randomly assigned to group 1 (n = 30) had their skin prepared for surgery
by use of a 2-step method, whereas the skin of dogs in group 2 (n = 30) was
prepared for surgery by use of a commercially available product for a 1-step
technique. Culture plates for quantitative bacterial counts were applied to the
proposed incision site on dogs under general anesthesia after hair at the site
was clipped and vacuumed but before antiseptic was applied. A second quantitative
bacterial culture plate was applied to the proposed incision site after
completion of the surgical preparation technique. Surgeries were routinely
completed, and dogs were evaluated by physical examination the next day and at
the time of suture removal (7 to 10 days after surgery) for complications.
Postoperative complications were minor and consisted primarily of subcutaneous
swelling, which resolved with time. All cultures obtained prior to skin
preparation included bacteria or yeast. Sixteen cultures obtained after skin
preparation (group 1, n = 11; group 2, n = 5) included bacteria or yeast. The
total number of colonies of potential pathogens (Staphylococcus sp. and Enterobacteriaceae)
on the preparation cultures was 9,339; 4 colonies were counted on the
postpreparation cultures. Potential bacterial pathogens, ie Streptococcus intermedius and
gram-negative bacteria, were isolated from dogs prepared with the 2-step
technique.
