A laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy was performed in a 19-year-old intact, female Bengal tiger presented for surgical treatment of pyometra. A multi-port technique was used with intra-corporeal sealing of the ovarian pedicles and extra-corporeal ligation of the uterine vessels and body. The tiger recovered from surgery and anesthesia without complication, was released into its enclosure the same day, and has remained clinically normal. Laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy may have advantages over open ovariohysterectomy for treatment of pyometra in the tiger.

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).

Background: This study explored the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on hemogram, serum biochemistry and hemostatic variables in female dogs undergoing laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (OVH).
Materials: Thirty adult, mixed-breed, healthy female dogs were randomly divided into the following three groups: HBOT + SURG (exposed to two absolute atmospheres (ATAs) for 45 min followed by laparoscopic-assisted OVH), HBOT (exposed to two ATAs for 45 min) and SURG (laparoscopic-assisted OVH). Blood samples were collected at T0 (at the admission), at T1, 24 h after T0 (immediately after HBOT in the HBOT + SURG and HBOT groups, and immediately before anesthetic premedication in the SURG group), and at T2, 48 h after T0 (24 h after HBOT and anesthetic premedication).

Objective: To compare results for surgery time, perioperative pain, need for rescue analgesia, variables, serum C-reactive protein concentration, and postoperative complications for dogs with pyometra treated with laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (LaOVH) versus open-surgery (OS) ovariohysterectomy.
Animals: 12 client-owned dogs with pyometra between June 1, 2016, and December 31, 2019.
Methods: Dogs enrolled in this prospective single-center randomized clinical trial had pyometra confirmed by history, physical examination, ultrasonography, and blood work and were randomly assigned to treatment group LaOVH or OS.

Objective: The study aimed to compare two different vessel-sealing devices (VSD) for laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy in dogs.
Material And Methods: In this randomized, prospective clinical trial 12 consecutive, client-owned, healthy, intact female dogs of different breeds were included. The dogs had been admitted for elective laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy and were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups.
