Introduction: Laparoscopic surgery is increasingly utilized for its minimally invasive nature, leading to reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery. This study aimed to compare postoperative pain, surgical complications, and recovery between laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (LAOHE) and open ovariohysterectomy (OHE) in dogs.

Methods: A total of 40 healthy female dogs were randomly assigned to undergo either LAOHE ( = 20) or OHE ( = 20).

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates the use of 3D-printed custom reduction guides (3DRG) for minimally invasive treatment of radial fractures in dogs.
  • 24 canine forelimb specimens were subjected to different surgical stabilization techniques: MIPO with 3DRG (Group A), open reduction (Group B), and closed reduction with external fixation (Group C).
  • Results showed that while certain measurements (like angle and translation) were similar across groups, MIPO using 3DRG notably reduced surgical time, making it a reliable option for aligning fractures.
