Introduction
• Routine techniques and elective surgeries
• Surgeries indicated in some pathologies
• Some types of surgeries are not allowed in some
countries
– Every clinician must adapt at local legislation
• Neutered or spayed is defined as no have
reproductive organs
• Sterilised is defined as unable to produce
offspring by removing or blocking the sex organs
• “we can do the same thing a lot of times in the
incorrect way”

BITCH
• Normal anatomy
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
BITCH
• Ovariohisterectomy
– Indications
• Elective sterilisation
– Prevent oestrus
– Prevent undesirable pregnancies
• Prevent mammary tumours
• To prevent or as a treatment of
uterine and ovarian pathologies
– Ovarian cyst, pyometra, uterine
torsion,uterine prolapse, uterine
rupture
• Others
– Vaginal hyperplasia
– Indicated in animals with diabetes
or epilepsy
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
BITCH
• Ovariohisterectomy
– After first oestrus?
• Complications of prepuberal castration like vaginal hypoplasia,
perivulvar dermatitis, juvenile behavior, urinary incontinence
• These complications have difficult therapies

Abdominal incission from umbilicus near pubis
Localise uterine horn until every ovary
Cut or broke suspensory ligament without any knot
Clamp uterine horn to manipulate uterus
The ovarian pedicle is tied and severed with one or two knots
Cut or broke the broad ligament
Knot the uterine body just before the cervix in every side of the
uterus. Uterine arteries are individually ligated.
– Some epiplon is tied to the body of the uterus
– Clamp to review the knots just before abdomen closure
– Correct closure of the abdominal cavity

BITCH
• Ovariohisterectomy in special cases
– Gravid uterus
• More easy visualize uterine and ovarian
vessels
• More easy to break uterus or vessels
– Oestrus animals
• Prone to haemorraghe
– Uterine Torsion
• Really difficult to localise the normal
anatomic structures
• Empty lumen before surgery
– Cesarea
• In block ovariohisterectomy
• We have 45-60 seconds to extract
puppies from uterus
• We need experience and assistants
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
BITCH
• Ovariectomy
– Possible lateral flank approach
– Indications: ovarian cysts and tumours
• Oviductomy
– Not recomended, because we don’t affect the normal
phisiology of the bitch (estrus, behaviours, mammary
problems, etc.)
– Uterine tube is the correct name
• Colpossuspension
– Decrease incidence of urinary incontinence in the
future
– At the time of ovariohisterectomy
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
Oviductomy
• From infundibulum to
the uterine ostium
• 6-10 mm long
• Inside the bursa
sheath
• Oviduct = uterine tubes
• Localise it (palpation)
• Open the bursa and
dissect
• Knot the uterine tube
Round ligament
Uterine tube

Colposuspension
• Easy to perform
• Don’t allow that bladder
pass from abdominal
situation to an intrapelvic
situation
• Pass the uterine stump
between bladder and
ureter through lateral
bladder ligament
• Suture the stump to the
prepubic tendon
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
Common
complications
• Haemorrhage, ussually of the
ovarian pedicles
• Infection of the suture
• Peritonitis
• Evisceration
• Vaginal bleeding from uterus vessels
• Ovarian remnant syndrome
• Fistulous tracts (non absorbable materials)
• Ureter obstruction, ussually near uterine vessels
• Urinary incontinence
• Obesity
• “suture reaction” to the abdominal closure
• Bilaterally symmetrical nonpruritic alopecia

easy and recommended for some authors)
–

Cut until parietal tunic
Transaction of the tail of the epididymis
Extraction of the testicle

ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
Displace the testicle to the
preescrotal incisson
Pampiniform
plexus

deferens
Use two separate
circumferential ligatures
Incise:
1.-spermatic fascia
2.-parietal tunic
3.- Visceral tunic

DOG
• COMPLICATIONS
– Scrotal hernia
– Scrotal bruising and
swelling
– Haemorraghe
– Infection
– Obesity ?
– Arteriovenous fistula
(rare)
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
DOG
• Silicone implants
– In special cases
– May be not allowed in
some countries or in
some show dogs
– Substitution of the
testicles inside the
vaginal tunic
– www.neuticles.com
– Possible in all species
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
DOG
• Vasectomy
– Bilateral removal or occlusion of a
segment of the ductus deferens
– Prevents fertility but not the androgendepending diseases and undesirable
male sexual behaviours
– Spermatozoa will continue be present 3
weeks after surgery.
– Localisation the spermatic cord near
testicles or near inguinal ring
– Complications
• Reanastomosis
• Spermatocele and spermatic
granulomas

DOG
• Cryptorchidism
– Developmental defect in male dogs (1,2% to 5% in some studies)
– Monorchidism has not been reported in dogs (Johnston, Shirley D. Canine and Feline
theriogenology, 2001)
– Wait until 6 months of age, and more in some specific breeds.
– Unilateral (79,8%) more common than bilateral (20,2%), and left
(65,7%) more common than right (34,3%)
– At 6 months of age starts the functional closure of the inguinal rings
– Is heritable
– Medical treatment is of little value
– Retained testes
• Abdominal testes are smaller that the inguinal
• Capable of steroid genesis but are not capable of normal
spermatogenesis
• Predisposed to neoplasia (x10 times more frequent)
• Predisposed to torsion
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
DOG
• Cryptorchidism
– Abdominal testes
• Lateral approach in the
unilateral cases
– Testicle located ussually
lateral to the bladder
• Abdominal midline incission
in the bilateral cases
– We can retroflex the
urinary bladder to localise
ductus deferens
– Often located caudal to the
kidneys
• The same technique that for
castration
ArViVet Veterinaris. TERRASSA. SPAIN. www.arvivet.com
DOG
Scrotal testicle
• Cryptorchidism
– Orchiopexy
• Is the surgical
placement of the
retained testis in the
scrotal sac
• Not recommended
• Regain some
spermatogenic function
• Increase the dog’s
value fraudulenty
Cryptorquid
testicle
Ligament of the tail
of the epidymis
