“…We also noted normal activity of the queens approximately 4 to 6 hours after surgery, which is in accordance with Culp et al 5 , who found no alteration in activity monitored by accelerometer preand post-video-assisted ovariectomy in small dogs, in contrast to the open surgery which showed decreased activity post-surgery.…”

“…Tal como se ha comprobado en hembras caninas al realizar ovariohisterectomía mínimamente invasiva, es casi seguro que en el abordaje al abdomen en machos por laparoscopia para extraer los testículos retenidos, se reduzca el trauma de los tejidos, el dolor posoperatorio y las complicaciones durante la cicatrización, cuando se compara con las técnicas abiertas (5,(15)(16)(17). De hecho, resultó obvio para los dos casos presentados, que la técnica laparoscópica contribuyó con la reducción del tamaño de la incisión quirúrgica que suele ser paraprepucial cuando se realiza por laparotomía y que puede ser una herida dolorosa y molesta para los pacientes.…”
