History, signalment, results of physical examination, results of preoperative diagnostic testing, details of the surgical procedure, durations of anesthesia and surgery, intraoperative and immediate postoperative (ie, during hospitalization) complications, and short- (\u2264 14 days after surgery) and long-term (&gt; 14 days after surgery) outcomes were recorded. Data for patients undergoing LapOVE versus LapOVH were compared.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>RESULTS<\/jats:bold> Intraoperative and immediate postoperative complications were infrequent, and incidence did not differ between groups. Duration of surgery for LapOVE was significantly less than that for LapOVH; however, potential confounders were not assessed. Surgical site infection was identified in 3 of 224 (1.3%) dogs. At the time of long-term follow-up, postoperative urinary incontinence was reported in 7 of 125 (5.6%) dogs that underwent LapOVE and 12 of 82 (14.6%) dogs that underwent LapOVH. None of the dogs had reportedly developed estrus or pyometra by the time of final follow-up. Overall, 205 of 207 (99%) owners were satisfied with the surgery, and 196 of 207 (95%) would consider laparoscopic sterilization for their dogs in the future.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE<\/jats:bold> Results suggested that short- and long-term outcomes were similar for female dogs undergoing sterilization by means of LapOVE or LapOVH; however, surgery time may have been shorter for dogs that underwent LapOVE. Most owners were satisfied with the outcome of laparoscopic sterilization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.251.4.443","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,1]],"date-time":"2017-08-01T16:07:15Z","timestamp":1501603635000},"page":"443-450","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Outcome
