Abstract

Laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy was performed in a cat (2.7 kg) with pyometra. A 10-mm operative laparoscope was inserted into the abdomen through an umbilical port. A transabdominal suspension suture was placed to maintain the exposure of the ovarian vascular pedicle. The ovarian vascular pedicle and suspensory ligament were progressively cauterized and transected with 5-mm multifunction bipolar grasping forceps. Both ovaries and the uterus were exteriorized via 5-mm caudal port enlarged to 2 cm. The uterine body and associated arteries were ligated, transfixed, and transected under direct vision. No peri- or post-operative complications were encountered. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of the use of laparoscopy for the treatment of pyometra in the cat.

자궁축농증으로 내원한 고양이에서 복강경을 이용한 난소자궁절제술을 시행하였다. 먼저 제대 port를 통해 5 mm working channel을 가진 10 mm 복강경을 복강내로 삽입하였다. Working channel을 통해 복강 내로 도입된 atraumatic grasping forceps을 이용하여 난소를 배측복벽으로 견인한 후 난소 동,정맥을 노출시키기 위해 난소를 배측 복벽에 일시적으로 고정시키는 transabdominal suspension suture를 적용하였다. 난소 동, 정맥과 난소걸이인대는 5 mm multifunction bipolar grasping forceps을 이용하여 순차적으로 소락절제하였다. 양쪽 난소의 절제 후, 제대 port의 꼬리쪽 방향에 5 mm 직경의 추가 port를 장착하였다. 추가 port를 통해 grasping forceps을 복강 내로 삽입한 후 절제된 난소와 자궁을 복강 밖으로 배출하였다. 이때 자궁의 배출이 용이하도록 port의 직경을 2 cm로 확장하였다. 자궁몸체와 자궁동맥은 복강 밖에서 결찰 후 절제하였다. 술 후 5주간의 관찰 결과, 복강경수술과 관련된 어떠한 부작용도 관찰되지 않았다. 본 증례는 고양이에서 자궁축농증 치료에 복강경을 적용한 예이다.
