What is removed in a laparoscopic spay?

Published in Veterinary Medicine 1 min read

During a laparoscopic spay, a veterinarian removes the ovaries and uterus of a female animal. This procedure prevents the animal from becoming pregnant.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

  • Laparoscopy: This minimally invasive surgical technique uses small incisions and a specialized camera to visualize the internal organs.
  • Ovaries: These are the female reproductive organs that produce eggs and hormones.
  • Uterus: This is the organ where a fertilized egg implants and develops.

By removing these organs, the animal can no longer produce eggs or become pregnant.
