- Laparoscopic spay reduces postoperative pain within the first 24 hours compared with open surgery.
- Wound complications occur less with laparoscopy than with traditional open spays (16% vs 36%).
- Recovery to normal activity is usually within 2–3 days after LapOVE.
- LapOVE uses small ports and magnified visualization to minimize tissue trauma.
- WSAVA guidelines prefer ovariectomy over full ovariohysterectomy for elective sterilization.
- Some cases may require conversion to open surgery if visualization or bleeding control is compromised.
- LapOVE reduces tissue trauma and promotes faster return to activity after surgery.
- The article cites JAVMA, JSAP, and WSAVA as references for LapOVE benefits.
- The report frames laparoscopy as a modern standard in veterinary elective sterilization.
- Owners report their pets returning to normal behavior quickly after LapOVE.
