Abstract

To assess feasibility of laparoscopy for cholecystectomy and ovariectomy in goats, (12) apparently healthy adult non pregnant female baladi goats were used. Following aseptic preparation of equipments, instruments and animals, laparoscope was placed on the umbilicus and 360o scan was performed for orientation and exploration of the abdominal cavity. Ventral abdominal approach offered good visualization of liver, biliary system and reproductive system. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ovariectomy ensured minimal invasion and less tissue destruction, visual assessment of hemostasis and smaller body wall incision.
