The aim of this study was to examine the cardiorespiratory and blood changes associated with pneumoperitoneum (PNP) in laparoscopic ovariectomy (LAP Ove), as well as sevoflurane requirements, comparing them to those determined in open surgery (LPT Ove). The study was performed in 16 bitches submitted to LAP or LPT Ove. The cardiorespiratory and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration values were recorded as follows: at the beginning of surgery (T1), after the right ovary resection (T2), after the left ovary resection (T3), and after surgical closure (T4). Blood samples were taken before and after PNP. Among the cardiorespiratory parameters, no differences were observed in the values of end-tidal CO 2 , minute volume, and heart rate. In the LAP Ove group, a significant increase in inspiratory pressures and a decreased compliance were identified at T2 and T3. Significant higher arterial pressure values were observed in both groups at T2 and T3, with this increase especially marked at T2 in the LPT Ove group. Sevoflurane requirements were significantly higher in the LPT group during ovarian resection. Finally, in terms of the hematochemical parameters, statistical differences were recorded between pre- and post-operative assessments, but not between both surgical groups. The pathophysiological effects associated with PNP seemed to be transient and well-tolerated by healthy dogs.
