|
The traffic and introduction of exotic species in a different environment are contributing factors associated with change in the social organization and functionality of the resident communities by predators, parasitic transmission, hybrid crosses and exclusion caused by territorial competition. An example of that was the illegal marketing of the Trachemys scripta elegans native species from the United States to Brazil. This illegal importation brought a number of problems to the native species. Currently, sterilization is considered the most effective method for population control. Using this procedure we have a better control of the animals selected to be bred in the next generation, therefore the number of animals euthanized is lowered. Of the surgical procedures, ovariosalpingectomy (OS) by transplastron or by pre-femoral region are the most used ones. The main objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of videoassisted ovariosalpingectomy using the prefemoral access in red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans). For that, twenty adult animals weighing 1.565 ± 0.397 kg were used in this study. Animals were randomly divided into two groups prior the surgical procedure. Group 1 the surgical procedure was conducted into the right side and group 2 on the left side. All the reptiles were submitted to a videoassisted OS technique using a pre-femoral access. Animals were clinically evaluated during sixty days from the surgical procedure. The procedure was a success in all the animals without the need of a bilateral access. In group 1 the average surgical time was 50.2 ± 14.6 min, while in group 2 was 48.0 ± 11.8 minutes (P > 0,3249). The most complex step during the surgery was the exteriorization of the eggs with rupture of oocytes in more than 15% or the patients. Despite of the few complications during surgical procedure we concluded that this technique effective and safe to be used in red-eared sliders. No significant differences were observed between the pre-femoral right or left access.
