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