Owners of a juvenile domestic yak elected bilateral ovariectomy to prevent future reproduction. The yak was noted to be healthy at presentation. Both ovaries were removed using a laparoscopic approach as follows: after induction and maintenance of general inhalant anesthesia, 15 degrees Trendelenburg positioning was required to view the ovaries. Ovariectomy was conducted within a surgical time of 50 minutes. Due to the small ovarian size, portal enlargement was not necessary for removal. Mild hemorrhage from the left ovarian pedicle was controlled with application of a vessel-sealing device. Postoperative complications were not encountered during hospitalization. At 12 months following surgery, the yak was healthy, and the owner was highly satisfied with the procedure. The described approach was successful for performing laparoscopic ovariectomy in a juvenile yak. Positioning for surgery was similar to other small ruminant species. Further case enrollment is needed to optimize the surgical approach and better describe clinical outcomes.
一头幼年家养牦牛的主人选择双侧卵巢切除术以防止其未来繁殖。该牦牛在就诊时被认为健康。采用腹腔镜方法切除双侧卵巢如下：在全身吸入麻醉诱导和维持后，需要采用头低脚高位15度以观察卵巢。卵巢切除术在50分钟的手术时间内完成。由于卵巢体积小，无需扩大切口即可切除。使用血管封闭装置控制了左侧卵巢蒂的轻度出血。住院期间未出现术后并发症。术后12个月，牦牛健康，主人对该手术非常满意。所描述的方法成功地在幼年牦牛中进行了腹腔镜卵巢切除术。手术体位与其他小型反刍动物相似。需要进一步纳入病例以优化手术方法并更好地描述临床结果。
