one of the most common elective surgical procedures in animals are those that render animals incapable of reproducing. neutering in animals describes spaying or castration (also please see castration). to spay (medical term: ovariectomy or ovario-hysterectomy) is to completely remove the ovaries and often the uterus of a female animal. in a dog, this is accomplished through a ventral midline incision into the abdomen. in a cat, this is accomplished either by a ventral midline abdominal incision, or by a flank incision (more common in the uk). with an ovariectomy ligatures are placed on the blood vessels above and below the ovary and the organ is removed. with an ovariohysterectomy, the ligaments of the uterus and ovaries are broken down and the blood vessels are ligated and both organs are removed. the body wall, subcutis, and skin are sutured. to castrate (medical term: orchiectomy) is to remove the testicles of a male animal. different techniques are used depending on the type of animal, including ligation of the spermatic cord with suture material, placing a rubber band around the cord to restrict blood flow to the testes, or crushing the cord with a specialized instrument like the burdizzo.
