<br/><br/> The aim of this study is to clinically evaluate three techniques for hemostasis of the ovarian pedicle (OP) in cats in relation to efficacy, practicability, and surgical time. Ovariohysterectomy (OVH) was performed through a ventral midline incision on 36 intact adult female cats randomly divided into three groups, each of 12. In Group1, hemostasis of the OP was done by using single pedicle ligation (SL) using 2-0 polyglycolic acid. Ligation of the OP with 2-0 polyglycolic acid was done using three clamps (TC) technique, and in group 3, ovarian pedicle tie (PT) was used for OP hemostasis. The results showed that the three techniques used for OP hemostasis were safe and effective in preventing bleeding; the PT technique was economic and significantly (P< 0.05) faster in application than the TC and SL techniques.<br/>Keywords: Ovariohysterectomy; ovarian pedicle hemostasis; cats.
