Abstract

A 170 kg, 9-year-old, female Asian black bear was presented for sterilization. Physical examination revealed no evidence of any abnormal clinical sign. Laparoscopic salpingectomy was performed for sterilization. A $25^{\circ}$ laparoscope was inserted in the first port, 1-cm caudal to the umbilical scar, to view the abdominal cavity. Two more ports were made 15 cm caudo-lateral to the first port bilaterally. An atraumatic grasper and a vessel-sealing device were inserted in the bilateral ports. The vessel-sealing device was used to seal and cut the fallopian tube and mesosalpinx. There was no sign of hemorrhage on the severed ends of the fallopian tube and mesosalpinx. At 4 weeks, no physical, behavioral, or other assessable impairment was found. This is the first case report in an Asian black bear to describe laparoscopic salpingectomy for sterilization.

9살, 170 kg, 암컷 반달가슴곰이 불임 수술을 위해 내원하였다. 수술 전 신체 검사에서 특이 사항은 없었으며 복강경을 이용한 난관 절제술이 실시 되었다. 제대 아래에 만들어진 첫 번째 port에 장착 된 $25^{\circ}$ 복강경을 통해 복강을 확인 하였다. 정중 옆에 만들어진 두 번째 및 세 번째 port에 장착 된 비외상성 겸자와 혈관 소락용 기구를 이용하여 난관 과 난관간막을 소락하였다. 소락 된 부분에서 출혈이 확인 되지 않았으며 4주 후 신체 검사에서 어떤 이상도 발견 되지 않았다. 본 증례는 반달가슴곰에서 불임을 위한 복강경 이용 난관 절제술이 실시 된 첫 번째 증례이다.
