Original publication title: Ovariectomy in Queens: Two portals Laparoscopy vs Conventional Approach
Plain-English summary
A group of 24 healthy female cats (queens) underwent spaying, with half receiving a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure and the other half having traditional surgery. The laparoscopic method took less time, involved smaller incisions, and allowed for quicker recovery compared to the conventional approach. Cats that had the laparoscopic surgery were back on their feet faster and experienced less discomfort. Overall, the study suggests that laparoscopic spaying is a safe and effective option for neutering female cats.

Abstract
Objective- The purpose of this study was to compare two portal laparoscopy and conventional approach for ovariectomy in queen. Design- Retrospective study. Animals- Adult healthy queens (n=24). Procedures- Queens referred to the small animal hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Tehran for neutering were randomly assigned for two-portal laparoscopy (n=12) and midline open ovariectomy (conventional approach; n=12). General anesthesia was performed using the combination of ketamin (5.5 mg/kg; i.v.; Ketalar®, Alfasan) and diazepam (0.27 mg/kg; Valium®, Caspian, i.v.) followed by isoflurane in oxygen entubation. Results- Surgical time, length of surgical incisions and recovery time were significantly lower in laparoscopic (11.9±0.95 min, 15.9±0.18 mm, 40.4±4.29 min) compared to conventional ovariectomy (20.7±0.95 min, 27.4±1.27 mm, 58.5±5.58 min; P<0.05). Conclusions- In conclusion, two portals laparoscopy is a simple, safe and suitable approach for elective neutering in queen.
