A cirurgia minimamente invasiva Ć© um dos meios terapĆŖuticos mais promissores em meio Ć s tecnologias cirĆŗrgicas na atualidade e a esterilizaĆ§Ć£o Ć© o procedimento laparoscĆ³pico mais utilizado na prĆ”tica clĆnica. Conhecer a opiniĆ£o dos titulares Ć© importante para promover a aceitaĆ§Ć£o da aplicaĆ§Ć£o da tĆ©cnica de laparoscopia na esterilizaĆ§Ć£o de cadelas e/ou gatas. Os objetivos desta pesquisa incluem apontar a proporĆ§Ć£o de inquiridos satisfeitos com a realizaĆ§Ć£o da tĆ©cnica de ovariectomia laparoscĆ³pica nos seus animais de estimaĆ§Ć£o, alĆ©m de identificar quais destes estariam dispostos a investir novamente nesta tĆ©cnica para a esterilizaĆ§Ć£o dos seus futuros animais. Este estudo tambĆ©m abordou os titulares de forma a identificar quais os principais requisitos e vantagens para optarem pela tĆ©cnica laparoscĆ³pica. O presente trabalho baseia-se em um estudo realizado atravĆ©s de um inquĆ©rito online. Colaboraram neste inquĆ©rito 126 titulares, clientes de um hospital veterinĆ”rio situado no concelho de Cascais, em Portugal, cujas gatas e/ou cadelas foram intervencionadas pela ovariectomia laparoscĆ³pica. Os titulares foram entrevistados por meio de um inquĆ©rito online composto por 11 perguntas com o objetivo de informar a sua opiniĆ£o acerca da esterilizaĆ§Ć£o por laparoscopia. A proporĆ§Ć£o de titulares satisfeitos com a ovariectomia laparoscĆ³pica foi de 98,4% (intervalo de confianƧa de 95% com margem de erro de 2,2%). A mesma proporĆ§Ć£o foi obtida quando foram questionados sobre a intenĆ§Ć£o de realizar este procedimento num futuro animal de estimaĆ§Ć£o. A proporĆ§Ć£o de casos em que ocorreram complicaƧƵes foi de 2,4%, havendo evidĆŖncia de associaĆ§Ć£o entre a ocorrĆŖncia de complicaƧƵes e a insatisfaĆ§Ć£o dos titulares pelo teste exato de Fisher com p<0.001. Relativamente aos principais requisitos e vantagens que levaram os titulares a optar por esta tĆ©cnica, a recuperaĆ§Ć£o mais rĆ”pida e o maior conforto no pĆ³s-operatĆ³rio foram os fatores mais selecionados, por 92% e 83% dos inquiridos, respetivamente. AtravĆ©s deste estudo foi possĆvel concluir que os titulares demonstraram estar satisfeitos com a tĆ©cnica de ovariectomia laparoscĆ³pica e que voltariam a optar por esta tĆ©cnica na esterilizaĆ§Ć£o de um futuro animal de estimaĆ§Ć£o. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que este procedimento Ć© bem aceite pelos titulares, sendo considerado uma alternativa eficaz e satisfatĆ³ria, o que reforƧa a sua relevĆ¢ncia na prĆ”tica clĆnica de pequenos animais
ABSTRACT - The Use of Laparoscopy in the Sterilisation of Female Cats and Dogs: Caretakers' Perspectives on the Subject - Minimally invasive surgery represents one of the most promising therapeutic modalities among current surgical technologies, with sterilization being the most widely performed laparoscopic procedure in clinical practice. Understanding the opinions of pet owners is crucial to fostering acceptance of laparoscopic sterilization in female dogs and/or cats. The objectives of this research include determining the proportion of respondents who are satisfied with the performance of laparoscopic ovariectomy in their pets, as well as identifying those who would be willing to invest in this technique for the sterilization of future animals. This study also addressed pet owners in order to identify the primary requirements and advantages that lead them to choose the laparoscopic technique. This work is based on a study conducted via an online survey. A total of 126 pet owners, clients of a veterinary hospital located in the municipality of Cascais, Portugal, whose cats and/or dogs underwent laparoscopic ovariectomy, participated in the survey. The pet owners were interviewed using an online questionnaire composed of 11 questions aimed at capturing their opinions on laparoscopic sterilization. The proportion of pet owners satisfied with laparoscopic ovariectomy was 98.4% (95% confidence interval with a margin of error of 2.2%). The same proportion was observed regarding their intention to opt for this procedure for a future pet. The incidence of complications was 2.4%, and evidence of an association between complications and dissatisfaction of the caretakers was found using Fisherās exact test (p<0.001). Regarding the main requirements and advantages that led pet owners to choose this technique, faster recovery and increased postoperative comfort were the most frequently selected factors, reported by 92% and 83% of respondents, respectively. This study concludes that pet owners demonstrated high satisfaction with the laparoscopic ovariectomy technique and would choose this method for the sterilization of a future pet. The results obtained suggest that this procedure is well accepted by pet owners, being considered an effective and satisfactory alternative, which reinforces its relevance in small animal clinical practice
