Exteriorization and visualization of canine pedicles during a dog spay procedure is drastically improved by manually rupturing the suspensory ligament. This technique is traditionally taught by "strumming" the ligament. However, with small incisions, it is not possible for the surgeon to insert a hand into the abdomen to perform this technique. This course demonstrates how to effectively rupture the suspensory ligament when the ovary is outside of the abdomen. This technique is advantageous because if the ovarian pedicle tears after the suspensory is ruptured, the surgeon can visualize the tear and address it accordingly. This course describes a step-by-step manner to successfully rupture the suspensory ligament during a dog spay.
