Abstract

The aim of this study is to describe a spay hook minimally invasive ovariohysterectomy (OH) technique in domestic cats and to report 276 consecutive cases. A total of 276 OH procedures were performed in clinically healthy cats using minimally invasive techniques. All surgeries were performed according to the initial proposal without observing any intraoperative complications. The average time of less invasive OH procedure was 11.4 minutes. Less handling, and shorter surgical and anesthetic times decreased the total cost of the surgery and the risk of complications for the patient, both during surgery and in the postoperative period. Therefore, the less invasive OH technique, using a spy hook, has multiple advantages when incorporated into the veterinary surgical routine.
