Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate and compare technique, surgical time, and complications of laparoscopic ovariectomy using $LigaSure^{TM}$ and bipolar vessel sealing system in cats. Laparoscopic ovariectomy was performed under general anesthesia on 10 healthy female cats admitted for elective ovariectomy. Surgery was performed through three midline portals. Each ovary was randomly-assigned to removal by use of either $LigaSure^{TM}$ or bipolar vessel sealing system. Duration of predetermined surgery intervals and complications were compared. Bipolar OVE ($2:16{\pm}1:14$ minutes) took significantly longer surgical time compared to the $LigaSure^{TM}$ OVE ($1:24{\pm}0:59$ minutes, P = 0.021). The ovarian pedicle fat and obesity did not influence surgery duration. Intraoperative hemorrhage occurred with bipolar OVE in three cats, but had no significant influence on surgical time. The results suggest that both $LigaSure^{TM}$ and bipolar devices appear to be effective, but $LigaSure^{TM}$ can be used as a stand-alone device that decreases surgical time and complication compared with bipolar vessel sealing system.

본 연구에서는 복강경을 이용한 고양이의 난소절제술에서 지혈 장치로서 $LigaSure^{TM}$와 양극 전기 응고 장치(bipolar)의 효과를 수술시간, 부작용에 대하여 비교해 보고자 하였다. 10마리의 고양이를 각각 5 마리씩 A군과 B군으로 무작위로 나누었고, A군은 좌측 난소는 $LigaSure^{TM}$로, 우측 난소는 양극 전기 응고 장치(bipolar)로 절제하였다. 반대로 B군은 좌측 난소는 양극 전기 응고 장치(bipolar)로, 우측 난소는 $LigaSure^{TM}$로 절제하였다. 수술은 three midline portals로 하였으며, 수술시간, Body Condition Score, ovarian pedicle fat과 부작용 등을 체크하였다. 그 결과, 총 수술시간은 평균 $24:18{\pm}6:36$분 이었으며, $LigaSure^{TM}$ ($1:24{\pm}0:59$ 분)가 양극 전기 응고 장치(bipolar) ($2:16{\pm}1:14$ 분, p = 0.021)에 비하여 난소절제에 유의적으로 더 짧은 시간이 걸렸다. BCS와 ovarian pedicle fat은 수술시간에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 부작용으로는 미약한 출혈, 복벽 손상, smoke 발생 등이 있었는데 수술시간에 유의적인 영향을 미치지 않았다. 이러한 결과들은 $LigaSure^{TM}$가 비교적 고가의 수술장비라는 단점이 있음에도 불구하고 복강경을 이용한 고양이의 난소절제술에 유용한 수술적 활용 방법이 될 수 있을 것이라는 것을 보여준다.
