Sterilization in cat performed through a midline abdominal incision: Case study

Abstract

Spaying in female cats, especially non-reproducing ones, is safe and effective. The midline incision was used to spay a 4-year-old local breed female cat. The abdominal cavity was incised to access ovarian uterine horn and suspensory ligament. The cat recovered well and the surgery location healed within 14 days. This procedure improves abdominal cavity access for anatomical variations, pregnancy, and pyometra. Cats can recover fast and reduce reproductive health risks with adequate surgery and subsequent care.
