For the first dog, the duration of both procedures (umbilical hernia reparation and removal of the cryptorchid testicle) was 22 minutes and the skin incision was 2.0 cm length. For the second dog, procedure duration and skin incision length were 18 minutes and 2.5 cm, respectively. During the post-operative period no lesions, haemorrhages, signs of pain or other surgical complications were observed. CONCLUSIONS The criptorchidectomy performed by LESS through the commercial device is a feasible, safe and effective approach in dogs. The first case presented the ideal indication for the single port use, using the same incision for both procedures. LESS presents itself as an alternative to conventional laparoscopy in dogs with the additional advantage of only one incision, providing easy and secure organ retrieval.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
