Common sterilization methods

  1. The classic method consists of making a 2.5-3 cm long skin incision from a centimeter to three centimeters in the center of the tummy under the navel. The abdominal wall is dissected, then the uterus is removed through the incision, and a ligature (caproag or catgut) is applied to the vessels. Next, the uterus and ovaries are removed, and finally, removable or permanent sutures are placed on the skin. The suture is removed after about 7 or 10 days.
  2. Sterilization through a side incision has the following differences from the first method. An incision is made on the side along the linea alba, the muscle tissue is separated using a blunt method. This method is less traumatic than the classic one; it is most often done on homeless animals that do not require constant and postoperative care.
  3. Ovarioectomy - sterilization is performed through a very small incision with a surgical hook. The incision is similar to the classic one, but is up to 1 cm in size. Using a special hook, the ligament is hooked and the ovary is removed. After applying the ligature, the ovary or uterus is removed. The procedure is performed on young and nulliparous animals.
  4. Laparoscopic method of sterilizing pets. Punctures are made in the abdominal cavity and, thanks to endoscopic technologies, the ovaries and uterus are removed.
