This research describes the cyst resection of the prostate, perineal hernia and laparoscopic criptorquidectomia of a Collie dog, which showed clinical signs of recurrence after conventional hernia surgery. By mean three retroumbilical portals,an intraabdominal testicle was located through laparoscopic surgery. It was removed after the application of titanium clips in mesorquio and pots testicules. A prostate cyst was noticed that was drained by puncture with a transparietal needle. An incision was made in the wall and omentopexia of the cystic cavity was performed. In the evaluation of the pelvic cavity, it was found that the hernial defect was small and could be managed by laparoscopy. An intracorporeal suturing pattern was applied which covered the coccygeal muscle and lifted the anus. The entire procedure took about 140 minutes, with no complications. It was concluded that laparoscopic surgery can be used to treat prostate cysts and the perineal hernia of dogs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes a case of laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy in a female cat presenting pyometra and mammary fi broadenomatous hyperplasia. Using four portals, mesovarium were ligated by titanium ligature clips whereas the uterine vessels were occluded by video-assisted conventional ligatures. There were no postoperative complications. Videoassisted technique can be an alternative method for treatment of pyometra and cystic endometrial hyperplasia in female cats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
