dc.description.abstractTo evaluate the different laparotomy approaches to accomplish ovariohysterectomy in cats of age group 1-4 yrs. The animals were randomly divided into two equal groups (n=6) groups of A and B. In group A ovariohysterectomy was performed by ventral midline approach, where as in group B ovariohysterectomy was performed by flank approach. In the present study duration of surgery, length of surgical incision, cost of surgery, complications peri and post operatively and clinical and haemobiochemical parameters were assessed. A negligible bleeding was noticed in group B compared to group A due to surgical trauma to the muscles. The duration of surgery from point of incision to closure of surgical wound was 12 ± 0.41 minutes in group A and group B respectively length of surgical wound was 6.7 ± 0.48 cm in group A and group B respectively, and cost of surgery was 160 ± 0.67 Rs. and 140 ± 0.45 Rs. in group A and group B respectively. There were no any serious complications encountered during and post-operatively in both groups. Animals spayed through lateral flank approach evinced lesser pain compared to those animals which have spayed through ventral midline approach. However, minor wound complications were noticed in group B compare to group A. the surgical wound healed after 10 days. However, in uneventful cases surgical wound healed in 7 days. There was no significant variation in physiological parameters like rectal temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate and pulse rate in both the groups and within the groups of different periods. There was no significant variation in haematobiochemical parameters in both the groups. Hence, the results shows that flank approach can be alternative to the traditional ventral midline approach for ovariohysterectomy in cats.en_US
