Resumo
Ovariohysterectomy is the most performed surgery in small animals, with the purpose of
birth control, avoiding pseudocyesis as also treating female reproductive tract
affections. Several surgery techniques have been described. Beyond the traditional
midline approach to the abdomen, the flank and many laparoscopic approaches may
be performed. Twenty-four healthy, mongrel and adult cats took part of the study.
They were randomly distributed in four groups of six animals, this way: GI – midline
approach and ligature with nylon thread; GII – midline approach and ligature with
nylon clamp; GIII – flank approach and ligature with nylon thread and GIV – flank
approach and ligature with nylon clamp. The times of dieresis, ovariohysterectomy
and closure were timed. Clinic evaluations were done at the day of the surgery and at
7 and 28 days after it. The results revealed that the midline approach was
significantly faster than the flank approach. The ligature time of the pedicles and
uterus body, as the total surgery time were statistically shorter for the groups that
used the nylon clamp. We also observed a higher incidence of edema in the groups
of midline approach at the seventh day after surgery, however at the twenty-eighth
day after surgery, all the wounds healed equally. We concluded that the nylon
clamps were secure to be use in cats’ ovariohysterectomies. Also, the flank
approach takes more time to be performed than the midline one. The incidence of
edema is considerable higher in the groups of midline access.
