Abstract

Laparoscopic method of ovariohysterectomy was performed in nine bitches presented for elective ovariohysterectomy. Abdomen was insufflated using carbon dioxide gas to an intraabdominal pressure of 12–14 mm Hg. One median (10 mm) and two paramedian (5 mm) ports provided good visualization and easy manipulation of visceral organs. Bipolar electrocautery provided adequate haemostasis. Satisfactory wound healing was noticed by fifth post-operative day.
