Canine laparoscopic ovariectomy is one of the most common laparoscopic procedures currently performed in dogs. While a 2 port technique is currently the most popular, an alternative, older 3 port technique is illustrated here (a single port technique using an operating laparoscope is also used by some vets). The 3 ports in this case were all placed in the midline (linea alba). This allows the surgeon to complete each ovary on a different side, and tilting the patient helps retract overlying viscera and expose the ovary.
