Videoassisted ovariohysterectomy with two portals for pyometra’s treatment in a bitch

This report describes pyometra's treatment in a bitch which was submitted to video-assisted ovariohysterectomy by two portals. The approach into abdominal cavity was carried through two midline incisions of 1cm each, and the ovaries fixed in the abdominal wall by a transcutaneous suspension suture and after the identification of the vascular bed, titanium clips were placed for hemostasis with subsequent section of the ovarian stumps. The pre-pubic incision had to be enlarged to remove the ovaries and uterine horns, ligating the uterine body externally by the conventional technique. The video-assisted treatment of pyometra with two portals was performed in able surgical time when compared with similar procedures described, without complications and minimal blood loss.
