There are several types of hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is removal of uterus. Total hysterectomy is uterus and cervix. Additionally the fallopian tubes (salpingo) and ovaries (oopherectomy) may be removed so, a total hysterectomy with unilateral(one) or bilateral (both) salpingo oopherectomy would be all the reproductive organs apart from the vagina. Radical hysterectomy also removes lymph nodes when cancer has spread beyond the fallopian tubes.

What is a fixed goat doe?
A doe that has been spayed, ie had an ovariohysterectomy. The doe can no longer have kids as the reproductive organs have been removed.
How long do the stitches stay in after spaying?
After an ovariohysterectomy (spay), the abdominal sutures should remain in place a minimum of 14 days (two weeks). This allows the underlying tissues to heal so that when the sutures are removed, the abdominal wall remains closed.
What is the most effective pyometra cat treatment available?
The most effective treatment for pyometra in cats is typically surgery to remove the infected uterus, known as an ovariohysterectomy. This procedure is considered the most successful way to treat pyometra and prevent recurrence.
What is the most effective treatment for pyometra in cats?
The most effective treatment for pyometra in cats is usually surgery to remove the infected uterus, known as an ovariohysterectomy. This procedure is commonly referred to as a spay and is considered the best option to prevent recurrence of the condition.
What area is an animal patients hair clipped and its skin scrubbed in preparation for surgery?
Wherever the surgical field will be, plus about a centimeter on each border. For a typical abdominal surgery in cats and dogs (such as spaying or ovariohysterectomy), the surgical field is the xyphoid (end of the sternum) to the pubis (hip bone on the stomach) and laterally to the flank folds.
What does a female cats privets look like when fixed?
The external genitalia of the cat will look the same after it is fixed (or "spayed", some call it). When a female cat gets fixed, the veterinarian performs a surgery called an ovariohysterectomy where she/he will remove the ovaries and uterus of the cat, preventing her from getting pregnant or going into heat. I hope that helps! :)
Does a spayed female dog have a hymen?
The hymen is a structure found in the human vagina; it is a remnant of the fusion between the internal reproductive organs and the involution of the external surface to create an opening. This structure is generally not found in dogs whether she has been spayed or not. The spay surgery (an ovariohysterectomy) would have very little impact on a hymen, since the vagina is not manipulated during the surgery.
Can spayed dogs reproduce?
No. When they are spayed, all reproductive organs are removed.
Are girls ever castrated?
Human women often undergo a procedure called "Tubal Ligation" where the fallopian tubes are severed and tied to prevent egg cells from entering the uterus. It would be the equivalent of a vasectomy in men (which leaves the testes). An Ovariectomy will remove the ovaries, and be essentially the female equivalent of castration. It is usually only done as a treatment of disease, or as part of a hysterectomy, again done due to pathology. Hysterectomies can be also be done to spare the ovaries, and help maintain hormonal balance. Female Cats and Dogs are often Spayed (Ovariohysterectomy), removing the female sex organs, again the female form of castration.
Will spayed kittens get lazy?
Some of them do, some of them don't. Spaying has slightly different effects on different individuals. Some people have said their cats stayed just the same, while others have said their cats gained a lot of weight and became very lazy. Most cats will have to eat less because their metabolism is lower. So if you plan on getting your pet spayed, you might want to give them less food afterwards. If you are worried about your cat getting fat and lazy, try asking your vet to give your cat a hysterectomy (partial spay) instead of a ovariohysterectomy (full spay). Studies have shown that it will prevent a cat's metabolism from changing, although some vets will not perform this surgery because they don't know how to.
How do cats get pregnant?
By mating. Similar to the way humans do. If your cat is an outdoor/indoor cat and hasn't been neutered/spayed, then they'll almost always find a mate; even if you don't know of another cat of the opposite gender in the area.
What happens when a cat is spayed?
First, you can't spay a male cat - the proper term for a spay operation is ovariohysterectomy [removal of the ovaries and uterus], and male cats don't have these structures. Males are neutered or castrated, during which the scrotum is plucked free of hairs, surgically opened and the testicles are removed. The vas deferens on each side is tied closed and the testicular vessels are ligated. Generally the surgical incisions are left open to allow for drainage of any inflammatory fluid; they heal up just fine in the vast majority of cases.
