RESUMO
This study aimed to evaluate the postoperative complications in 20 bitches previously submitted to ovariohysterectomy, correct these complications by surgery, and correlate the findings observed in preoperative diagnostic exams with those found during exploratory laparotomy. The animals were evaluated from the first day to the third month after consultation. Questionnaires were filled out by the owners. Bitches were submitted to clinical and laboratory exams, and ultrasound of the pelvic and abdominal regions. The most important complications observed were fistulas, ovarian and uterine stump granuloma, intestinal adherence, presence of ovarian remnants, hydronephrosis, and hydroureter. Two bitches died, and normal physiological functions were restored in all the other bitches. This study identified that mistakes that lead to these problems occur frequently during nonprofit reproductive control activities and in animal protection organizations as well as in private clinics, and are made not only by veterinary medicine students prematurely acting as veterinarians at the owners homes, but also by veterinary medicine professionals. This study showed that mistakes made during ovariohysterectomy may cause several alterations in organs of the abdominal cavity that may lead to death.
