  • Laparoscopic techniques for reproductive surgery in dogs
    Publication . Tavares, Inês Maria Tenreiro; Tenreiro Tavares, Inês; Rivera Barreno, Ramón; Luís, José Paulo Pacheco de Sales
    ABSTRACT - Laparoscopic surgeries are already routine in human medicine. In companion animals, they are gradually being applied more and tutors are already requesting them. Sterilization is the most common surgery performed on companion animals. In this way, the interest in evaluating the sterilization of male and female dogs and the associated pain arose. In the first study, we compared the viability and the effects on pain and inflammation caused by a new technique for laparoscopic castration of male dogs with the classic technique. Surgical times, pain scale, blood and salivary cortisol and C-reactive protein were compared between the two groups. The laparoscopic group had significantly lower pain, cortisol, and C-reactive protein values than the classical orchiectomy group. The results suggest that this laparoscopic castration is a safe and beneficial alternative to traditional orchiectomy in dogs. Studies in human medicine have concluded that acetazolamide reduces pain associated with carbon dioxide insufflation during laparoscopic surgery. So far, no study has evaluated the action of acetazolamide for this purpose in companion animals. In the second study we compared the values of serum cortisol, salivary cortisol and the University of Melbourne Pain Scale in three groups of bitches subjected to: open ovariectomy, laparoscopic ovariectomy and laparoscopic ovariectomy with preoperative administration of acetazolamide. We found evidence that preoperative administration of acetazolamide may be beneficial in controlling postoperative pain in bitches after laparoscopic surgery. The third paper reports the successful resolution of an intra-surgical finding of teratoma in the left ovary during laparoscopic ovariectomy. This is the first reported case of a teratoma removed by laparoscopic ovariectomy
