Laparoscopic Paraovarian Cyst Removal In A Female Rhesus Macaque, Vijay Kumar, Anshu Raj, Sameer Rastogi

A 15-year-old female rhesus macaque was showing signs of bleeding from the vulva, while no other signs were noted. The animal was treated symptomatically with no improvement. On abdominal laparoscopy, a small transparent growth was discovered on both of the uterine horns, between the ovaries and fallopian tubes, and after thorough examination was diagnosed as a paraovarian cyst. The left cyst was larger (5-6 cm) than the right cyst (3-4 cm). Both of the cysts were smooth and transparent due to accumulated fluid. The cysts were aspirated and removed by bipolar laparoscopy cauterization.

Due to the fact that they produce less post-operative pain and shorter hospitalisation times, laparoscopic surgery procedures are more widely used than many traditional open surgical methods. However, the carbon dioxide gas used to visualise the surgical site during the procedure causes complications such as an increase in the blood CO_2 level and acidosis. In the present study, 12 male pigs were used. Sedation was achieved via intramuscular injection of xylazine at a dose of 2 mg/kg and anaesthesia induction was done via slow intravenous injection of ketamine HCl at a dose of 2 mg/kg. Following endotracheal intubation, general anaesthesia …
