  • Title: Equine laparoscopy: gonadectomy.
    Author: Caron JP.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Vet; 2013 Feb; 35(2):E4. PubMed ID: 23532903.
    Abstract:
    Laparoscopic removal of the gonads from male and female horses is regularly performed for a variety of reasons. In female horses, common indications for ovariectomy include behavioral problems and signs of abdominal pain that are linked to estrus. Another indication is an abnormal, enlarged ovary, typically due to ovarian neoplasia, the most common being granulosa thecal cell tumor. Ovariectomy is also a treatment option for ovarian hematomas and other abnormalities. In addition, ovariectomy is used to sterilize mares intended for artificial insemination or embryo transfer programs.
