Laparoscopic sterilization was performed under standing sedation or recumbent under general anesthesia in 6 Sardinia donkey males. An endoscopic linear stapler was used to transect, and control hemorrhage of the spermatic cord. Serum testosterone concentrations were measured preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months after sterilization. Sterilization was successfully achieved in all subjects indicating that this technique can be performed using an endoscopic linear stapler as an alternative to scrotal castration.

Abstract

Laparoscopic sterilization was performed under standing sedation or recumbent under general anesthesia in 6 Sardinia donkey males. An endoscopic linear stapler was used to transect, and control hemorrhage of the spermatic cord. Serum testosterone concentrations were measured preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months after sterilization. Sterilization was successfully achieved in all subjects indicating that this technique can be performed using an endoscopic linear stapler as an alternative to scrotal castration.
