Cat laparoscopy is a safe sterilization method. Painless sterilization of dogs and cats

Laparoscopic sterilization- this is surgical removal ovaries or ovaries and uterus by minimally invasive access (through two small punctures in the abdominal wall with a diameter of 3-5 mm). In this case, the necessary condition is the use of endoscopic equipment: a laparoscope with an illuminator, an endovideo system, an electronic CO2 insufflator and special instruments.

During sterilization, a 3-5 cm long incision is made in the skin and abdominal wall in the classical way. In this case, surgical manipulations are carried out with standard open-access instruments, after which sutures are applied to the skin and abdominal wall. There is also a method of so-called "sparing" or "low-traumatic" sterilization through "lateral access". In some clinics, it is called laparoscopic, while misleading pet owners. This method was developed to sterilize stray animals for their subsequent return to their original habitat. With this method, you can really get by with a smaller access 1-1.5 cm long (in cats) and, subject to the use of a special slowly absorbable material, you can not remove the sutures, but everything else happens exactly the same as with the usual "classic" method.

Laparoscopic sterilization of cats and dogs

With laparoscopic sterilization, unlike classical, all manipulations are carried out inside abdominal cavity using special instruments under the video control of the laparoscope. The already removed ovaries are removed outside. Lack of contact with the “open” abdominal cavity and less tissue trauma significantly reduce the risk infectious complications- this is the main advantage of the minimally invasive laparoscopic method. After laparoscopic sterilization no stitches are applied. The punctures are closed with special glue, so no processing and subsequent removal of the seams is required. Another important advantage of this method is that during the operation all the main organs of the abdominal cavity are visually examined, which sometimes helps to detect hidden pathologies.

The disadvantages of laparoscopic sterilization include a more complex algorithm and technique for performing such operations, which requires high qualification and specialized training of the doctor. It should also be noted the high cost of endoscopic equipment and instruments.

In our clinic, we can offer our clients all three methods of sterilization, including the most advanced laparoscopic. The most modern equipment and highly qualified specialists are at your service.

Sterilization of dogs and cats by specialists of the Belanta clinic is carried out by the most humane and least traumatic method - endoscopic.

Endoscopic sterilization- a completely new word in surgery, in which the surgeon performs all the necessary manipulations in the abdominal cavity of the animal through tiny holes 3-5 mm long!

The operation is performed under general anesthesia and lasts about 30 minutes.

IMPORTANT! At the Belanta Clinic:

Sterilization of cats through a lateral incision is no longer used in our clinic.
Sterilization is carried out through small incisions.
Laparoscopic sterilization is carried out not through several small punctures, but only through 2.
In our clinic, after the operation, a dropper is necessarily carried out for an easier exit from anesthesia.
During the operation, monitoring of the state of the animal (pulse oximetry, heart monitor) is used.
Operations are performed under the guidance of an anesthesiologist-resuscitator. This allows you to reduce operational risks to a minimum!

ATTENTION: in pets that do not participate in mating on a regular basis, with age, the risk of mammary tumors increases greatly and inflammatory processes in the uterus, which threatens the life of the animal and requires emergency surgical intervention. As a rule, an animal with such pathologies is already weakened, which increases the risks of anesthesia.

Scheduled sterilization is carried out in clinically healthy animals and the rehabilitation process is much easier!

Endoscopic sterilization of dogs and cats has a number of undeniable advantages over traditional surgery:

There is no risk of postoperative inflammation and complications, as there is no direct contact of the surgeon's gloves with the surgical field.
The unique endoscopic technique makes it possible to study in detail the organs and tissues of the animal on a special monitor, which makes it possible to identify any associated pathologies.
Tiny incisions cause little to no pain.
Postoperative scars (there are practically none) do NOT need special treatment.

That is why endoscopic sterilization is indispensable for most dogs. large breeds, for service and chain dogs - there is no need for special bandages and collars, removal of seams, any special conditions of detention.

Additional Information

Several methods are used to sterilize cats:

1. Classic- is made through an incision in the skin (up to 3 cm) along the central (white) line of the abdomen, through which the uterus is taken out. A ligature based on absorbable materials is applied to all vessels. It is also possible to use a coagulator. The uterus with ovaries is removed, after which the incision is sutured with removable or non-removable sutures.

2. Through the lateral incision- the difference from the classical one lies in the choice of the location of the incision - in this case, it is located on the side. It is less traumatic, since a blunt method of tissue separation is used.

3. Through a super small incision- The operation is performed using a surgical hook. The dissection of the skin and peritoneum is carried out similarly classical method, but the size of the incision does not reach 1 cm. With the help of a hook, the ligament is picked up, after which the ovary is taken out. It is possible to remove the ovary with some part of the ligament or the uterus completely.

4. Laparoscopic method . The use of endoscopic technology makes it possible to completely remove the uterus and ovaries through several small punctures. The operation is quite complex in terms of technology, requires a highly qualified surgeon and special expensive medical equipment.

Optimal age for sterilization

Most veterinarians believe that early spaying is good for the cat. The recommended age is from 5 to 8 months, when the first signs of puberty begin to appear.

How to prepare a cat for spaying

12 hours before the scheduled operation, the animal should not be fed.
On the day it is held, the cat should not even be given water.

Such requirements are possible manifestation side effect in the form of an urge to vomit from those used for anesthesia drugs. In the case of aspiration of vomit, often develops serious condition- aspiration pneumonia.

How to care for a cat after surgery

After sterilization, the cat will need a soft, warm place where they will not penetrate Sun rays, irritating eyes after anesthesia.
During the day after the operation, the animal should not be disturbed.
Since the cat's eyes do not close during anesthesia, to prevent the cornea from drying out, it is necessary to instill an artificial tear (a special solution for contact lenses). A simple saline solution will also work.
If sutures are in place, they should be checked daily. They must be completely clean and dry.
Seams are processed antiseptic solution. Additional use of wound healing ointments is possible.
If intradermal suturing was used, it is enough to wipe them with a solution of chlorhexidine (0.05%).

Neutering of dogs

The essence of the procedure

The duration of the operation is 60-90 minutes. The choice of method of sterilization is determined by the sex of the animal.

In males, the testicles are removed by one of the recommended methods.

Operating bitches is much more difficult, since there is a need for abdominal surgery with access to the abdominal cavity. Only the ovaries or the ovaries and uterus are removed (ovariohysterectomy). The second method is considered more optimal, since the preserved uterus can later cause the development of pyometra. The duration of ovariohysterectomy is up to 60 minutes.

When is the best time to do it?

Spaying in males before the age of 6 months is not recommended, as the procedure may cause a delay in growth and development.

As for females, it is optimal to sterilize them at 4-5 months of age, before the first estrus. This will reduce the likelihood of tumors by 200 times.

Before surgery

Follow a 12-hour fasting diet.
4 hours before the start of the operation, do not give the animal water.
To free the stomach and intestines from the contents a day before the operation, give the dog Vaseline oil as a laxative.
If fleas are found, eliminate them

After operation

Lay your dog down on a flat bed.
After recovering from anesthesia, moisten the pet's tongue and nose with water.
Limit the amount of liquid.
Choose soft food (minced meat, pate).
Treat the seams with antiseptics, prevent them from getting wet.
Put on a dog blanket or protective collar to prevent injury to wounds.
Take antibiotics prescribed by your doctor.

The laparoscopy method is actively used for surgical intervention, both in humans and animals. If we consider general concept laparoscopy, this term refers to a surgical process in which an operation on the internal organs is performed through small holes with a diameter of from half to one and a half centimeters. Laparoscopy is used for surgical interventions in the abdominal and pelvic cavities.

All manipulations are performed using specialized equipment - a laparoscope. This instrument is equipped with a telescopic tube with a set of lenses and a video camera. Complemented by a "cold" light source.

What it is?

Laparoscopic spaying of a cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat cat is the process of removing your pet's ovaries through two small punctures in the abdominal wall (there is also a single port laparoscopy). On average, the diameter of such a puncture reaches 4 millimeters. In some cases, a little more is possible. It depends on the age of the cat. The recommended age is 5-12 months.

Operating process

Time is specified by the operating specialist. On average it is 6-8 hours. Next comes the premedication of the animal: the introduction of drugs to prepare the body for surgery and subsequent anesthesia. After that, the area where the punctures will be made is prepared and processed, and the animal is put to sleep. Laparoscopic sterilization, like classical sterilization, is performed under general anesthesia. Surgical manipulations to remove the ovaries and tighten the organs take about 30 minutes.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Sterilization

Puberty in cats occurs at the age of 7-9 months. This means that the time has come when your pet's body is ready for reproduction. And for those who do not plan to breed and adopt kittens, it is time to think about methods that prevent reproduction.

Today is the most in an efficient way is sterilization, it is safe for murka and solves a number of problems associated with hormonal changes that affect the nature of the pet. Sterilization of cats by laparoscopic method is a cavityless operation, the most sparing one.

What is sterilization

The sterilization procedure itself is surgical method removal of reproductive organs. It is performed by abdominal method and laparoscopically., that is, through small incisions. The second is considered preferable, since the postoperative recovery period is much faster and easier.

Types of cat sterilization:

spaying. After such an operation, the cat stops estrus;
removal of the uterus and ovaries. It is believed that this laparoscopic operation is the most optimal with medical point. She not only solves the issue of getting rid of Murka from pregnancy, but also has a positive effect on her health. Now you can not worry about the occurrence of various inflammatory processes in reproductive organs. Since both the uterus and ovaries have been removed, the cat is not threatened with such diseases.

Spayed cats live ordinary life, as well as their unsterilized relatives.

Optimal age for laparoscopic sterilization

How many doctors, so many opinions. This also applies to the issue of laparoscopic sterilization of cats. Some claim that such an operation can be done at any age and it is better to let the pet give birth at least once. Others, on the contrary, are categorical in this matter and insist that the owners should make a decision when the kitten reaches six months of age. That is, puberty has not yet come and the cat did not experience instinctive needs for motherhood.

In any case, it is better to consult with a veterinarian and make a joint decision.

Preparation for laparoscopic surgery

Special preparation for laparoscopic sterilization is not required. Preparing a cat for spaying comes down to a few things:

at least three weeks must have elapsed since the last vaccination
it is better to take tests in advance, if the operation is decided to be performed on a middle-aged cat, this will help to avoid problems of getting out of anesthesia, an examination by a veterinarian is mandatory. The cat at the time of laparoscopic surgery must be healthy,
if the pet is allowed to walk on the street, you need to carry out a procedure to clean it from worms and fleas,
since cat paws with sharp claws can scratch postoperative wounds, it is better to trim the claws.

Upon consultation veterinarian is obliged to warn the owner of the purr about when it is possible to feed it, and then exclude both food and water for a certain time before sterilization. It's about 12-18 hours. If you do not meet the deadline, the cat may vomit after the operation, and this is not desirable for fresh stitches.

Laparoscopic procedure

The method of surgical intervention - laparoscopy - is a closed method of sterilizing cats, which allows the operation to be performed through small punctures.

It is carried out with the obligatory use general anesthesia. Since the time passes quite quickly, therefore, the minimum amount of anesthesia is given. Huge the advantage is minimal intervention in the body(unlike abdominal, when a large incision is made on the abdomen), hence fast recovery and no complications.

Laparoscopic sterilization, both partial and complete, is performed with special surgical instruments to remove the ovaries and uterus using a small video camera. They are introduced into the abdominal region through incisions about 1 cm in size. The image from the camera is enlarged and fed to the monitor, which allows the surgeon to perform the operation by manipulating the inserted instruments.

Benefits of laparoscopic sterilization

I would like to note the obvious advantages of this method of sterilizing pets:

suitable for cats of any age, from a six-month-old kitten to a solid age murka, the only limitation can be a state of health,
since there is a large incision on the abdomen, this helps to avoid various infectious diseases that may be of concern to postoperative period, therefore, the course of antibiotics for prevention is more gentle,
sutures are performed with surgical threads, which dissolve over time, leaving no trace, their processing is reduced to only one or two times,
and, very importantly, laparoscopic surgery for a cat causes a minimum of problems, pain and the return to normal life is very fast.

Cat behavior after laparoscopic sterilization

After laparoscopy in a cat, behavior and lifestyle practically do not change. Unlike abdominal surgery, the recovery period takes little time and passes without any restrictions.

Because laparoscopic surgery uses general anesthesia, then natural will be drowsy and lethargic behavior, which lasts for several hours and usually disappears by the end of the day.

The owners should be more careful immediately after the operation. The effect of anesthesia can cause the cat to wake up several times and try to get up. Naturally, weakness leads to some disorientation in space, and this can threaten the pet with injuries due to falls or bumps. Take care of her, try to calm her down, caress her and put her to your favorite place to rest. Soon the effect of anesthesia will completely pass and she will not even remember the unpleasant moments.

After laparoscopy, the cat should not receive food or drink for about 10-12 hours. Your veterinarian will advise you of this. Follow strictly his advice, and your pet will get better soon, will enjoy life again.

How to care for a cat after laparoscopic surgery

As a rule, after undergoing laparoscopic sterilization, the animal recovers very quickly. Some clinics offer to leave the pet under observation for a while, most are sent home after surgery, given a few important tips. If you were offered the first option, then you should not refuse, this means that the doctor has reasons for this. Let the cat stay under medical supervision and, in which case, she will be provided with qualified assistance.

The operation of laparoscopic sterilization is much more complicated than the castration of cats. Therefore, you should not neglect the advice of a doctor. Any surgical intervention, although not as complex as the cavity, requires no less attention from the owner and the veterinarian.

As already noted, after undergoing anesthesia used in the laparoscopic procedure, the pet can sleep for several hours and be lethargic.

This condition is absolutely normal. By the evening she will feel better, her appetite and playful mood will appear. And by the morning next day nothing should bother her. If lethargy persists after a day, it is urgent to show Murka to a doctor.

Although the pet usually recovers quickly from laparoscopic surgery, it takes some time for the wounds to heal. In order not to violate the integrity of the seams, you need to follow a number of rules:

avoid too active games with the cat for several days,
do not let her lick the stitches, wounds, and in no case scratch them, if necessary, you can apply a bandage.

Review the pet's diet, for which you can consult a doctor. Spayed cats can quickly gain weight, leading to obesity and health problems. If you prefer to feed the cat natural food, reduce portions, watch the calorie content. There are foods specially formulated for these cats. They are optimally balanced and ideal for pets that have undergone spaying.

Is there an alternative to laparoscopic sterilization?

Veterinarians and tussock breeders are unanimous on this issue that there is no alternative to laparoscopic sterilization. It is very difficult to observe the torment of a pet several times a year. This is not only a psychological test for the whole family where the animal is kept. Not easy for the cat.

Giving special pills and drops is also not the best option. Any medicine definitely affects the work of internal organs.. Who wants to shorten the life of a pet?

How to reduce undesirable consequences after surgery to zero

Any operation is a certain risk. Therefore, laparoscopic sterilization of a cat requires careful attention to the issue of choosing a clinic and a doctor. Here are a few tips to focus on for owners who decide to spay a murka:

The laparoscopic sterilization procedure is not cheap, but there is no need to save money. Pay attention to the conditions under which the operation is proposed, specify what tools will be used,
check how qualified the doctor is in the matter of sterilization. Read the reviews, both about the clinic itself and the operating doctor, in order to know all the pros and cons of the procedure in this particular clinic. Collect for yourself a certain rating of veterinary hospitals and do not be too lazy to take your pet to the other end of the city, if it turns out to be better there,
never agree to a laparoscopic surgery at home. Such an intervention requires sterile conditions and materials, high-quality conduct, anesthesia and observation,
be sure to consult a doctor about preparing a cat for laparoscopic surgery and strictly follow all recommendations. The well-being of the pet will depend on this.

Pros and cons of sterilization

Laparoscopic sterilization of cats has no disadvantages, after it there are almost never complications.

The pluses include such moments as not just the absence of pregnancy, but also the dulling of signs of sexual activity. The cat stops asking the cat. As well as the positive aspects of laparoscopy are that there is a decrease in the risk of onset various diseases genital area: tumor phenomena and infectious diseases of the uterus.
