We evaluates the safeness and efficacy of local anesthesia for ovariectomies in 15 female in cats. Surgery was performed by bilateral laparotomy in the flank in 15 female cats of different weight and age. Cats were tranquilized with 5 mg/kg of 0.2% acepromazine and surgery site was infiltrated locally with 2% lidocaine at a maximum doses of 7 mg/kg. Ovaries were found after location of the kidneys by external palpation. After the opening of the abdominal cavity, the ovaries were exteriorized, ligated by transfixation and removed. The abdominal wall and skin were sutured with interrupted simple suture. A week after the operation, the cutaneous suture were removed. The anesthetic technique employed was efficient and the surgical technique easy to perform. When the cutaneous sutures were removed, the cats were clinically normal and showed good recovery. It was concluded that the anesthetic technique can be successful used in cats for ovariectomies by flank.
