A 170 kg, 9-year-old, female Asian black bear was presented for sterilization. Physical examination revealedno evidence of any abnormal clinical sign. Laparoscopic salpingectomy was performed for sterilization. A 25olaparoscope was inserted in the first port, 1-cm caudal to the umbilical scar, to view the abdominal cavity. Two moreports were made 15 cm caudo-lateral to the first port bilaterally. An atraumatic grasper and a vessel-sealing devicewere inserted in the bilateral ports. The vessel-sealing device was used to seal and cut the fallopian tube and mesosalpinx. There was no sign of hemorrhage on the severed ends of the fallopian tube and mesosalpinx. At 4 weeks, no physical,behavioral, or other assessable impairment was found. This is the first case report in an Asian black bear to describelaparoscopic salpingectomy for sterilization.
