Laparoscopic treatment of ovarian remnant syndrome in dogs and cats: 7 cases (2010–2013)

Abstract

Laparoscopic management of ORS in this cohort of dogs and cats was associated with minimal morbidity. Laparoscopic treatment of ORS in dogs and cats may be recommended for appropriately selected patients.

Ovarian remnant removal using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques in four dogs

“…In the limited number of cases presented here, neither surgical nor postsurgical complications were encountered. Results of this study were similar to a report by Naiman et al () that reported successful treatment of ovarian remnant syndrome in five dogs and two cats, with similar results to those reported here. Further prospective evaluation of the laparoscopic technique would be required to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes with coeliotomy.…”

“…In the limited number of cases presented here, neither surgical nor postsurgical complications were encountered. Results of this study were similar to a report by Naiman et al (2014) that reported successful treatment of ovarian remnant syndrome in five dogs and two cats, with similar results to those reported here.…”

“…Laparoscopy allows the camera to move into the abdominal gutters, providing better light and magnification (Austin et al ). A laparoscopic procedure to treat ovarian remnant syndrome is therefore feasible and has been recently reported (Naiman et al ). Minimally invasive surgery is associated with decreased postoperative pain and may contribute to a decreased rate of surgical site infection (Austin et al , Culp et al , Mayhew et al ).…”

Advances in endoscopic surgery for small animal reproduction

“…However, applications in the veterinary field have not yet been so widely attempted or established. It has only been within the last 10 to 15 years that minimally invasive techniques have been considered for application in veterinary surgery (Case, Marvel, Boscan, & Monnet, 2011;Dupré et al, 2009;Mayhew, Mehler, & Radhakrishnan, 2008;Naan, Kirpensteijn, Dupre, Galac, & Radlinsky, 2013), particularly in the field of animal reproduction (Adamovich-Rippe et al, 2013;Becher, Aurich, & Dupré, 2014;Dupré et al, 2009;Naiman et al, 2014;Swanson, 2012).…”

Clinical case of ovarian remnant syndrome in a cat

“…The best way for treatment is removing the residual ovarian tissue through diagnostic laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery (Naiman, 2014;Phipps, 2015 residual tissue by radiography and ultrasonography in this case because by this medicine the amount of tissue is diminished (Sontas et al, 2007;Ball et al, 2010). On the other hand, there were no great blood vessels on the surface of the found residual tissue, which was favored by the action of the medicine to avoid complications as intrasurgical bleeding (Sontas et al, 2007).…”
