Comparison of two haemostasis techniques on procedural duration, postoperative pain and gastrointestinal function in pet rabbits undergoing ovariohysterectomy.

Ovariohysterectomy is a common surgical procedure in pet rabbits and one of its potential complications is postoperative gastrointestinal stasis, possibly exacerbated by prolonged surgery time. The objective of this prospective clinical study was to compare two techniques for surgical haemostasis with respect to procedural duration, postoperative pain, and return of gastrointestinal function, in 22 female rabbits undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Rabbits were assigned to one of two groups: conventional vessel ligation (CVL) and haemostasis with a vessel sealing device (VSD).
