Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare a modified ovariohysterectomy (OHE) technique versus the conventional method in terms of time efficiency, trauma, and postoperative pain in female dogs.
- In a trial involving 18 mixed-breed dogs, the modified technique significantly reduced total surgery time and pain levels postoperatively compared to traditional methods.
- Key findings indicated that the instrument shank-assisted OHE improved specific surgical time steps by up to 30.7% and connected strongly to overall surgery time, showing both techniques caused pain, but the new method led to reduced discomfort at various time points post-surgery.
