This video shows what the inside of a dog looks like after a 'traditional spay' compared to a laparoscopic ovariectomy. The differences are profound - as are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery for pets. I routinely perform laparoscopic ovariectomy on patients as small as 5lbs and well up over 100lbs. They have much less pain, are back on their feet faster and have reduced incidence of post-operative complications. One day this will become the standard of care in the veterinary industry.

  • nice job. looks like you're working via a single port. what kind of camera/scope setup are you using? which cautery unit are you using? i'm looking at the Ligasure unit -but they're still VERY expensive!

  • @levittownvet Yes its a single port 12mm trocar using a biovision operating laparoscope: it has a 6mm channel through which the long (45cm) instruments pass..I use a Powerblade to grasp/cauterize/cut. I wish the ligasure had a 45cm instrument but they don't! It won't fit down the length of the scope :( ...and as you pointed out they're still very expensive anyways!! I'm very happy with this Biovision system.

  • This is a great video and I'd love to use it to educate my clients but the music is awful. Please post this video again without any music, I'd be so grateful and I'm sure more vets would link to it across the world. cheers.

  • Delightful procedure.

    What's the budget expected for such an equipment ?

    How can I get this overseas ( France ) ???

  • Brilliant, much more humane alternative - honestly though, the soundtrack over rides the visual which is really amazing.
