Objective: To evaluate incidences of pyometra and orthopedic, behavioral, urinary/reproductive, neoplastic, or atopic disease processes as outcomes for dogs undergoing either a laparoscopic-assisted ovary-sparing spay/hysterectomy (LapOSS) or a laparoscopic ovariectomy (LapOVE).
Animals: 33 client-owned dogs.
Procedures: Medical records of client-owned dogs presenting between August 2013 and May 2020 for elective LapOSS or LapOVE were reviewed.

Fetal maceration and pyometra were diagnosed in a 16-year-old maiden Welsh pony mare.

Fetal bones were unable to be removed completely transcervically due to failure of cervical dilation despite repeated attempts.
