Tissue sealing versus suture ligation in open canine ovariectomy: Surgical times, intraoperative nociceptive response and frequency of complications.

The present study shows that the use of ENSEAL significantly shortened the surgical time. Meanwhile, its use was found to be similarly safe and efficient in terms of intra-operative nociception, as the classical techniques with absorbable suture. Canine ovariectomy using ENSEAL device is more practical and faster than the traditional technique; the routine use of this device is considered a useful alternative for the canine neutering.
