We present the case of Ruby, a 21-year-old hand-reared chimpanzee () who had an obstetric history significant for a premature stillborn infant that was conceived while on oral contraceptive pills, followed by a full term healthy delivery complicated by neonatal demise attributed to inappropriate maternal care. She was recommended for permanent sterilization due to her history of conception while on oral contraceptives. She underwent uncomplicated laparoscopic bilateral tubal ligation. Due to the similar anatomy to humans, human OB/GYN surgical consultants were used. The objective of this case report is to describe a modern technique for approaching and employing laparoscopic surgery in primates. Minimally invasive surgery allows for faster recovery and fewer complications, and has become the preferred approach for surgical intervention in many animals. The information presented in this case report can be expanded to benefit not only Chimpanzees but other large primate species as well. However, subtle anatomical differences among species must be recognized in order to be carried out safely.
我们介绍了鲁比的病例，这是一只21岁的人工饲养黑猩猩，其产科病史值得关注。她曾在服用口服避孕药期间怀上一名早产死婴，随后足月分娩出一名健康婴儿，但因产妇护理不当导致新生儿死亡。由于她在服用口服避孕药期间怀孕的病史，她被建议进行永久性绝育。她接受了无并发症的腹腔镜双侧输卵管结扎术。由于黑猩猩与人类解剖结构相似，因此由人类妇产科手术顾问实施手术。本病例报告的目的是描述一种在灵长类动物中进行和应用腹腔镜手术的现代技术。微创手术恢复更快、并发症更少，已成为许多动物手术干预的首选方法。本病例报告中提供的信息不仅可以扩展到黑猩猩，也可以惠及其他大型灵长类物种。然而，为了安全实施手术，必须认识到不同物种之间细微的解剖差异。
