▼ The shift from open surgery with one large incision to less invasive techniques with multiple small incisions brings benefits such as less trauma, less scar formation and a faster recovery for the patient. However, in minimally invasive surgery (MIS), surgeons struggle with basic tasks such as applying sutures and tying nots. Clip appliers have been developed to take away the need to apply sutures. From the literature research preceding this thesis and a state-of-the-art investigation, it turned out that current clip appliers do not combine simultaneous steerability and the ability to apply multiple clips. Reaching the surgical site can be difficult or impossible with conventional non-steerable clip appliers, and the reinsertion of a clip applier after every clip application is time consuming and can lead to damage to the instrumentation and patient. The goal of this thesis is to develop a reusable minimally invasive steerable clip applier that can bend clips at the surgical site to close ducts and cuts during laparoscopic procedures. Design requirements and obstacle points are determined for the laparoscopic instrument components by taking the SATA mechanism as a starting point in the design process. Possible solutions to the obstacle points are gathered in a morphological chart that is used to come up with six distinct concepts. A concept choice is made by experimentally finding the required torque to cut and bend a titanium clip and by verifying the ability of concepts to reach this torque by creating a simplified instrument tip on the same scale as the to be designed tip. The worst-case required torque to cut and bend a medium sized titanium clip of 0.5 by 0.8 mm turned out to be 0.6 Nm and 0.03 Nm respectively. During this experimentation it became clear that clips should be supported over the whole length and not just at the ends during the bending process to secure appropriate closing and compression. Several experiments are performed to find a cutting blade attachment that could transmit the worst-case cutting torque while remaining as bendable as possible. The concept in which the clips are formed in the tip by cutting off a piece of titanium wire and then bent into a clip turned out to be the most promising because it has a theoretically unlimited number of clips at the implantation site without a cartridge, is sterilizable, relatively easy to fabricate due to its simplicity, and can be modified to produce clips with other dimensions. The concept is 3D printed on a 500% scale to verify functionality. This prototype showed that a revision of the actuation mechanism was required and that a few minor alterations could make the instrument easier to sterilize. 3D printing the new design on a 500% scale verified the functionality. The final functional prototype is also 3D printed at a 200% scale, which is the smallest scale that could be achieved with the available resources. The experiments showed that all the required actions could be performed and the prototypes showed that the mechanism functions as… Advisors/Committee Members: Dankelman, Jenny (graduation committee), Horeman, Tim (mentor), Lenssen, Tomas (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Minimally invasive surgery refers to modifications to traditional procedures that reduce the disruption of the body’s normal function. This thesis examined three techniques designed to reduce the invasiveness of major cardiac procedures. Coronary artery bypass grafting performed without cardiopulmonary bypass or any manipulation of the ascending aorta (anaortic off-pump) was found to reduce the incidence of post-operative stroke, mortality and other complications. An anaortic off-pump surgical technique that achieves achieve complete revascularisation and utilising total-arterial grafts was developed. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a novel minimally invasively method of treating severe aortic stenosis. Despite the complexity of the procedure, TAVI was successfully introduced into an Australian hospital with excellent perioperative outcomes. The transapical approach was demonstrated to be a feasible alternative in patients who were not suitable for transfemoral access, though there was increased risk of vascular and bleeding complications. Prophylactic extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in selected very high-risk TAVI patients may also help avoid the consequences of intraoperative complications and the need for emergent support. Lastly, a novel minimally invasive strategy for managing high-risk patients with combined aortic stenosis and multivessel coronary artery disease was described. Robotic ‘telemanipulators’ have enabled complex cardiac procedures to be performed via port-access. Systematic reviews of published studies demonstrated improved postoperative recovery in robotic-assisted coronary and mitral valve surgery, whilst maintain the quality of the procedure. High intra-procedural costs are largely offset by faster discharge from hospital and return to work. A step-wise program for introducing robotic-assistance into coronary surgery was developed and implemented in an Australian public hospital. Though major challenges limited progression.

▼ The research described here identifies the limitations of existing robotic surgical platforms, which include the balance between the scale of the robot and its manipulability in terms of range of motion, load capacity, and tool capability, then develops a means of overcoming them by taking advantage of fluid power as an enabling technology with its inherent power density and controllability. The approach described here differs significantly from conventional surgical robots in that the robot is embedded within the surgical device itself, whereas in the conventional system, a general-purpose robot is used to manipulate various surgical tools. This is done in order to demonstrate that fluid power can be used advantageously for the design of embedded surgical robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery. To enable the design of a fluid powered surgical robot, it was first necessary to identify the design requirements for a robot of this nature as well as the considerations unique to this approach. To this end, a quantification of the necessary load capacity for natural orifice robots was conducted. Further, through a review of the literature in the fields of surgery and robotics, considerations of necessary workspace and limitations for the prevention of tissue damage were explored. The results of these analyses are presented. The technologies that comprise this novel surgical robotic system include a hydraulic control valve, actuation units, and an enabling structure. The intended application of these technologies introduced numerous limitations and challenges to the design process. The most stringent of these limitations was that of overall size, due to the realities of patient anatomy, which prevented the use of commercially available hydraulic components. An assemblage of components to achieve the aforementioned design requirements is described including the design of a novel hydraulic control valve to enable manipulation of three actuators using a single valve sized to fit within the working channel of a surgical endoscope. The advantage of the described approach is that the device enables greater miniaturization, improves cost effectiveness, and has better ease of mobility. The mobility and the relaxed requirements for operating room cleanliness can be potentially useful for mobile clinics, out-patient clinical settings, and on the battlefield. Being more cost effective and having a small overall size, the robotic assisted surgical devices can be widely deployed, even in rural or other less technology intensive environments. Through careful review of the literature and analytical evaluation of the various proposed concepts, it was possible to arrive at a design that meets the needs of modern surgical interventions while addressing the perceived limitations of existing surgical robotics. Through the efforts described in this dissertation, much new information was produced and developments resulted. The considerations of hydraulic power for surgical robots were evaluated and are applicable to other surgical…

▼ Fully insertable robotic imaging devices represent a promising future of minimally invasive laparoscopic vision. Emerging research efforts in this field have resulted in several proof-of-concept prototypes. One common drawback of these designs derives from their clumsy tethering wires which not only cause operational interference but also reduce camera mobility. Meanwhile, these insertable laparoscopic cameras are manipulated without any pose information or haptic feedback, which results in open loop motion control and raises concerns about surgical safety caused by inappropriate use of force.This dissertation proposes, implements, and validates an untethered insertable laparoscopic surgical camera (sCAM) robot. Contributions presented in this work include: (1) feasibility of an untethered fully insertable laparoscopic surgical camera, (2) camera-tissue interaction characterization and force sensing, (3) pose estimation, visualization, and feedback with sCAM, and (4) robotic-assisted closed-loop laparoscopic camera control. Borrowing the principle of spherical motors, camera anchoring and actuation are achieved through transabdominal magnetic coupling in a stator-rotor manner. To avoid the tethering wires, laparoscopic vision and control communication are realized with dedicated wireless links based on onboard power. A non-invasive indirect approach is proposed to provide real-time camera-tissue interaction force measurement, which, assisted by camera-tissue interaction modeling, predicts stress distribution over the tissue surface. Meanwhile, the camera pose is remotely estimated and visualized using complementary filtering based on onboard motion sensing. Facilitated by the force measurement and pose estimation, robotic-assisted closed-loop control has been realized in a double-loop control scheme with shared autonomy between surgeons and the robotic controller.The sCAM has brought robotic laparoscopic imaging one step further toward less invasiveness and more dexterity. Initial ex vivo test results have verified functions of the implemented sCAM design and the proposed force measurement and pose estimation approaches, demonstrating the technical feasibility of a tetherless insertable laparoscopic camera. Robotic-assisted control has shown its potential to free surgeons from low-level intricate camera manipulation workload and improve precision and intuitiveness in laparoscopic imaging.

▼ A growing number of pediatric surgical indications can be treated by minimally invasive surgical techniques. Proponents of minimally invasive surgery claim that there is less surgical trauma, faster recovery and better cosmetic outcomes. The magnification of the operative field and the ability to access and perform surgery in limited anatomical spaces has advantages that are especially appealing to pediatric surgeons. This thesis discusses several aspects of pediatric minimally invasive surgery. In the first part we describe how minimally invasive surgical treatments in our hospital have evolved since their introduction. Also the institutional learning curve of thoracoscopic esophageal atresia surgery is described. In the second part we studied the effect of the applied pneumoperitoneum or pneumothorax in animal models. We found impaired intestinal anastomotic healing when high pressure pneumoperitoneum (10 mmHg) was applied as compared to open surgery or low pneumoperitoneum pressures (5 mmHg). High-pressure pneumothorax application led to severe impairment of cardiovascular functions, which was accompanied by higher cerebral oxygen extraction, possibly by impaired cerebral perfusion. In the third part of the thesis the effects of minimally invasive surgery on the vascular response, physiology, and cerebral perfusion in neonates and small children is investigated. We evaluated the sublingual vascular response by the application of 8 mmHg pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic correction of pyloric stenosis in young infants. Elevation of the end tidal carbon dioxide during the pneumoperitoneum was accompanied by an increased sublingual microvascular dilatation, this effect was abolished when the pneumoperitoneum stopped. In a similar group of patients brain oxygenation, recorded by near-infrared spectroscopy, remained stable during the laparoscopic procedure. During esophageal atresia corrections, intrathoracic carbon dioxide insufflation with a maximum pressure of 5 mmHg caused a reversible oxygen saturation drop, hypercarbia, and acidosis, all of which remained within acceptable limits. Blood pressure fluctuations could be avoided by fluid expansion or inotropic support; cerebral oxygenation remained stable during the procedure. laparoscopic procedures have become an established approach in children and neonates in our pediatric surgical training center. For thoracoscopic esophageal atresia correction there clearly exists an institutional learning curve. Supervision and guidance by senior staff members that have mastered the procedure seems to be a prerequisite for pediatric surgical centers that aim to start introducing this technique. High pressure pneumoperitoneum pressures should be avoided as this can impair intestinal anastomotic healing. In thoracoscopic surgery high pressures pneumothorax of 10 mmHg should be avoided as this can cause severe hemodynamic instability. The laparoscopic procedure for the treatment of pyloric stenosis can be performed under safe physiological conditions. Only a… Advisors/Committee Members: Zee, D.C. van der, Milstein, D.M.J..

▼ Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has several advantages over traditional methods. Scaling MIS instruments to smaller sizes and increasing their performance will enable surgeons to offer new procedures to a wider range of patients. In this work, two compliant mechanism-based minimally invasive surgical instrument wrist or gripper mechanisms are designed and analyzed.The cylindrical cross-axis flexural pivot (CCAFP) is a single-degree-of-freedom wrist mechanism that could be combined with existing gripper mechanisms to create a multi-degree-of freedom instrument. The simplicity of the CCAFP mechanism facilitates analysis and implementation. The flexures of the CCAFP are integral with the instrument shaft, enabling accessories to be passed through the lumen. The CCAFP is analyzed and determined to be a viable wrist mechanism for MIS instruments based on research results. A finite element (FE) model of the mechanism is created to analyze the force-deflection and strain-deflection relationships. Experimental results are used to verify the FE model. A 3 mm design is created that could undergo an angular deflection of +/- 90 degrees. The addition of cam surfaces to help guide the flexures and limit the maximum stress during deflection is explored. These cam surfaces can be integral to the instrument shaft along with the flexures. A 2 degree-of-freedom (DoF) CCAFP with intersecting axes of rotation is also introduced. The inverted L-Arm gripper compliant mechanism has 2 DoF, one wrist and one gripping. Three challenges associated with using compliant mechanisms in MIS instruments are considered: inadequate performance in compression, large flexure deformations, and a highly variable mechanical advantage. These challenges were resolved in the L-Arm design by inverting the flexures, tailoring flexure geometry and employing nitinol, and integrating pulleys into each jaw of the mechanism. The L-Arm was prototyped at several sizes to demonstrate functionality and scalability. A finite element model of the L-Arm flexure was created to determine the strain-deflection relationship. A fatigue test was completed to characterize nitinol for use in compliant mechanism MIS instruments.These concepts demonstrate the ability of compliant mechanisms to overcome the design and manufacturing challenges associated with MIS instruments at the 3 mm scale. The models and principles included in this work could be used in the application of compliant mechanisms to design new MIS instruments as well as in other areas that employ compliant mechanisms in a cylindrical form factor.

▼ Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery is used to perform intricate surgical tasks through small incisions using long, slender instruments. The miniaturization of these instruments is advantageous to both surgeon and patient because smaller instruments reduce trauma to surrounding tissue, decrease patient recovery times, and can be used in confined spaces otherwise inaccessible using larger instruments. However, miniaturization of existing designs is limited by friction between moving parts, the volume occupied by the end effector, and manufacturing and assembly constraints. The objective of this work is to develop and analyze concepts that can be used in robot-assisted needlescopic surgery. The concepts are intended for instrument shafts no larger than 3 mm in diameter. An ideal concept is one with large ranges of wrist and gripping motion. Concepts should also minimize friction and swept volume while maintaining a focus on manufacturability and ease of assembly. Multiple concepts were generated and evaluated using a tree classification scheme, proof-of-concept prototypes, and simplified mathematical models. Three unique concepts were further developed and tested—the Split CORE Grips, the Inverted Flexure Grips, and the Crossed Cylinders Wrist. The two grip concepts are instruments that incorporate one rotational degree of freedom and one gripping degree of freedom. The wrist concept incorporates two rotational degrees of freedom and could be coupled with a single DOF grip mechanism to form a functional instrument. In addition to concept development, a variety of fabrication techniques were investigated to better understand the challenges that arise when designing and fabricating devices at the 3 mm scale. To augment existing techniques, a novel fabrication technique was developed which uses layers of lithographically patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) composite material to form a 3D part. This method was used to prototype some of the designs at a 1:1 size scale.

▼ Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of death, by cancer. The usual treatment is surgical resection of tumours. However, patients who are weak or have poor pulmonary function are deemed unfit for surgery. For these patients, a minimally-invasive approach is desired. A major problem associated with minimally-invasive approaches is tumour localization in real time and accurate measurement of tool – tissue forces. This thesis describes the design, analysis, manufacturing and validation of a minimally-invasive instrument for tumour localization, named Palpatron. The instrument has an end effector that is able to support two previously designed jaws, one containing an ultrasound sensor and the other a tactile sensor. The jaws can move with two degrees of freedom to palpate tissue and rotate about the central axis of the instrument. The Palpatron has uncoupled jaw motion that allows for optimal alignment of sensors to improve data acquisition. The instrument can be easily assembled and disassembled allowing it to be cleaned and sterilized. The mechanism is articulated using push rods, each actuated by a motor. A semi-automatic control system was created for palpation. It is composed of a microcontroller that controls four motors via serial communication. In addition, the Palpatron has the ability to prevent tissue damage by measuring tool – tissue forces. Finite element analysis was used to guide material selection for designed components. Grade 5 titanium was selected for end effector links to provide a factor of safety of 1.2 against yielding under a 10 N point load at the tip of a jaw. The design was fabricated and validated by conducting experiments to test articulation and load carrying capacity. An 8-N force was applied to the instrument, which was successfully supported. The semi-automatic control system was used to perform basic maneuvering tasks to verify jaw motion capabilities. With positive testing results, the Palpatron forms the next step towards a comprehensive robotic-assisted palpation technology.

▼ A new radical design approach arose from the need to develop a bipolar electrosurgical instrument that is modular and cleanable, thus reusable and therefore suitable for low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Advanced Bipolar Vessel Sealer (BVS) instruments that are currently on the market cannot be cleaned or maintained well and are therefore most often sold as disposables. Especially in LMICs it is a significant financial burden for hospitals. This possibly leads to the re-use of single-use intended instruments which in turn jeopardizes patient safety. Simultaneously, designing a reusable instrument fits well in the transition to a more circular and sustainable society. To perform advanced laparoscopic surgery with cleanable and affordable electrosurgical instruments, a new design approach is needed. A first phase was initiated by the creation of a cable less steering principle called Shaft Actuated Tip Articulation (SATA) mechanism [6]. Unfortunately, by adding electrically conductive wires to a SATA instrument it loses its modularity and thus cleanability, precisely for which the SATA technology offered a solution in the first place. In addition, there are no non-robotically controlled and reusable BVS instruments with two DOFs available on the market. By being steerable, the user of the instrument is able to deliver a higher quality seal as well as to seal more difficult-to-reach blood vessels and tissue. In this thesis project the goal is to redesign a SATA instrument which sustains bipolar vessel sealing and thus designing a BVS that is easy to clean, easily disinfected and sterilized and which is reusable for a vast amount of surgical procedures. Ideas have been gained by analysing the SATA mechanism and studying commonly used BVS devices. A systematic selection procedure based on the design requirements has resulted in a winning concept for the conduction of electricity through the SATA instrument. For the design of the tip, determining factors were elaborated on, including the construction of the open and close mechanism and the force transmission ratio between the required seal force on the blood vessel or tissue and the necessary tensile force in the core of the instrument. The most critical components of the final model have been identified and evaluated by means of FEM simulations and an experiment. The FEM simulations of the tip components show that the design is satisfactory and that a safety factor of ~1.5 has been achieved. This means that these components do not fail due to normal use and they have a long lifespan as well. In the experiment a flexible nitinol guidewire with Teflon coating was tested for wear by pulling the guidewire through an angled SATA hinge. After some necessary adjustments and additions to the design of the BVS, the results were improved but not optimal. The outcome of this project is a good basis for the BVS design where the steerability has been maintained as well as the modularity and cleanability. The reusability depending on the flexible coating around the core needs… Advisors/Committee Members: Horeman, T. (mentor), Robertson, P.D. (mentor), Dankelman, J. (graduation committee), Hunt, A.

▼ A técnica de videolaparoscopia exploratória da cavidade abdominal utilizada atualmente em equinos implica em uma série de dificuldades. Há necessidade do acesso cirúrgico bilateral da cavidade abdominal ou anestesia geral para acesso ventral com a finalidade de obter uma avaliação adequada das vísceras e, consequentemente, um diagnóstico mais preciso. Esse procedimento prolonga o tempo e aumenta os riscos de complicações transoperatórias e pós-cirúrgicas. Apesar de ser uma técnica bem estabelecida com situações em que as vantagens de sua utilização são evidentes, alguns fatores ainda limitam sua difusão, entre eles podemos destacar: o custo do equipamento que limita a utilização fora de Universidades, Centros de Pesquisas ou clínicas particulares especializadas em cirurgias veterinárias. Com o objetivo de minimizar os aspectos negativos dessa técnica e viabilizar seu uso na rotina clínica e cirúrgica de equinos, surgiu a ideia de buscar uma nova via de acesso à cavidade abdominal e utilizando o videocolonoscópio, equipamento de menor custo. No presente estudo, foi analisado o uso do endoscópio flexível na exploração abdominal de equinos machos castrados e fêmeas pelo acesso perianal. A técnica foi avaliada quanto à viabilidade de permitir ou não o acesso à cavidade e identificação das vísceras abdominais em equinos. Além disso, buscou-se verificar se o endoscópio flexível permite a obtenção de amostras de tecido hepático para avaliação histológica. Os animais foram, alimentados, desverminados e avaliados diariamente por meio de exame clínico geral durante o período do experimento. Colheitas de amostras de sangue para hemograma e dosagem de fibrinogênio foram realizadas antes e após o procedimento cirurgico para posterior analise. Todos os cuidados de rotina em relação à antissepsia cirúrgica foram devidamente tomados e os animais submetidos a protocolo de sedação e analgesia. Os procedimentos de pós-operatório como terapia analgésica, anti-inflamatória, inspeção e higienização diária do local de incisão foram prestados. O procedimento cirúrgico teve início com incisão na região perianal laterodorsal direita entre o ânus e o musculo semimembranoso utilizando bisturi e tesoura, seguida de divulsão romba com o dedo ao longo da parede retal até alcançar uma profundidade aproximada de 10 cm, momento no qual foi introduzida cânula metálica com 56 cm de comprimento e 16 mm de diâmetro (Ø). Por meio desta cânula foi introduzido o endoscópio flexível (videocolonoscópio), sendo o restante da introdução da cânula acompanhada por visualização indireta em monitor. A cânula foi forçada lentamente até atingir a cavidade peritoneal, momento a partir do qual foi realizada exploração da cavidade abdominal. As vísceras observadas foram anotadas em ficha especialmente desenvolvida para esta finalidade. Como parte da avaliação hepática foi realizada biópsia e o material obtido analisado no setor de patologia da Faculdade de Veterinária da UFRGS.

▼ Intraoperative detection of radio-labeled cancer has become a standard of care for some forms of cancer surgery. Most commercially available gamma detection probes are designed for use with low energy radioisotopes. Many new radiotracers exhibit positron emission which ultimately decays into two 511 kilo-electron volts (KeV) high energy gamma emissions. Gamma detection probes capable of capturing this energy require heavy side shielding to block off-axis radiation, making them both large and cumbersome for intraoperative use. Moreover, minimally invasive surgical procedures, performed either laparoscopically or robotically, are rapidly replacing open procedures in many areas of surgical oncology. To detect high energy radioisotopes with a gamma detection probe capable of being introduced into the surgical field laparoscopically, a significant change to the approach of intraoperative gamma detection is required. Gamma detection probes must be re-designed with both increased sensitivity at high energy, and an alternative to the heavy metal shielding. The necessity for side shielding can be eliminated by using two detectors in combination with software to limit the field of view. To achieve increased sensitivity, the detection system can be configured to detect a broader energy range that includes gamma counts from Compton scattered radiation. Compton scattered radiation is the result of incomplete photoelectric absorption within the detection crystal. In currently marketed designs, it is excluded from the accumulation of gamma counts because it reduces the spatial resolution of the probe. A third methodology is required to recover this loss of spatial resolution associated with the expanded energy range. A statistical basis for probe positivity can be used to improve the spatial accuracy of the radiation source measurement.This research investigates the viability of applying these three methodologies to reduce the diameter of gamma radiation probes while simultaneously increasing the sensitivity at an energy of 511 KeV. A positive outcome defines the parameters for a subsequent implementation of laparoscopic and robotic probes to be used for the detection of positron emitting radionuclides. It is evident from the study that a detector pair can limit the field of view without the use of side shielding. When the energy range is expanded to include Compton scattered radiation, probe sensitivity is increased by two orders of magnitude. A statistical criterion for probe positivity recovers the loss of spatial resolution associated with the use of a wider energy acceptance range. The statistical criterion is also capable of differentiating a radiation source from background at tumor-to-background ratios as low as 1.1-to-1 if the gamma counts are sufficiently high. The data also suggests that the depth of the radiation source may be calculated using the count rates from the detector pair, under limited conditions. However, further investigation is required.Surface mapping of the radioactivity emitted from phantom models… Advisors/Committee Members: Lee, Robert (Advisor).

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária

A cirurgia de mínima invasão tem como principais vantagens, um menor trauma dos tecidos intervencionados, menor dor regional e uma recuperação mais célere do doente á sua atividade normal. Ainda com muita capacidade de expansão em medicina humana, ela apresenta-se também como uma área desafiadora e de múltiplas potenciais aplicações em medicina veterinária. A utilização da laparoscopia para a realização de castração, já descrita em várias espécies, apresenta-se como uma técnica cirúrgica relativamente simples no cão. Realizando a cauterização e o corte do ducto deferente e dos vasos testiculares, esta técnica de cirurgia de mínima invasão não apresenta a necessidade da realização de orquiectomia, o que parece ser uma condição atrativa para a sua aceitação junto dos proprietários dos cães. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido numa amostra de 6 animais saudáveis (n=6), pertencentes á espécie Canis familiaris, género masculino, com uma média de idade de 4 anos, sujeitos a castração por via laparoscópica. Todos os animais receberam o mesmo protocolo pré-cirúrgico constituído por amoxicilina, meloxican, acepromazina e tramadol. A indução anestésica foi conseguida com propofol, sendo a manutenção realizada com isoflurano. O principal objetivo do trabalho foi 1) avaliar a segurança e a viabilidade da técnica laparoscópica na realização da castração do cão, quantificando o tempo cirúrgico, e 2) realizando a avaliação ultrassonográfica do volume testicular em 4 tempos distintos: T0 (pré-cirúrgico), T1 (7 dias), T2 (30 dias) e T3 (60 dias após a cirurgia). No final do estudo foi possível concluir que a castração por laparoscopia se apresentou exequível na prática clínica. Todas as cirurgias foram realizadas com sucesso num tempo cirúrgico médio de 25 ± 15 minutos. No que respeita às complicações intraoperatórias, registaram-se duas: uma hemorragia dos vasos testiculares no doente nº 1 e uma laceração do baço no doente nº 5. Ao final dos 60 dias após a cirurgia, foi possível avaliar uma diminuição do volume testicular de aproximadamente 90%, em todos os doentes.

ABSTRACT - MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY: THE LAPAROSCPIC TECHNIQUE FOR CASTRATION OF CANIS FAMILIARIS - Minimally invasive surgery has as its main advantages, less tissue trauma, less regional pain and a faster recovery of the patient to its normal activity. Still with capacity to expand in human medicine, it also presents challenges and has multiple potential applications in veterinary medicine. The use of laparoscopy to perform castration, already described in several species, presents itself as a relatively simple surgical procedure in the dog. Using ligation and cutting of the vas deferens and testicular vessels, this technique of minimally invasive surgery does not present the necessity of orchidectomy, which seems to be an attractive condition for its acceptance among the dogs owners. This study was conducted with a sample of 6 healthy male subjects (n = 6), belonging to the species Canis familiaris,…
