Hysteroscopy allows detailed examination of the canine endometrium, revealing conditions like endometrial cysts. This sensitive diagnostic tool shows promise for evaluating uterine health in female dogs.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Gynecology
  • Diagnostic Imaging in Animals

Background:

  • Endometrial evaluation in canine reproductive health is crucial.
  • Hysteroscopy offers a minimally invasive approach for direct visualization of the uterus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and efficacy of hysteroscopy for examining the canine endometrium.
  • To identify uterine abnormalities using hysteroscopy in German Shepherd bitches.

Main Methods:

  • Ventral celiotomy was performed on eight German Shepherd bitches in various estrous cycle stages.
  • Hysteroscopy was conducted using laparoscopes (3mm or 4mm, 30-degree angle) and a uterine inflation catheter.
  • Post-procedure, uteri were examined macroscopically and histologically.

Main Results:

  • Endometrium and uterotubal junctions were visualized in all subjects.
  • Endometrial cysts (0.5-2.0 mm) were detected in four bitches.
  • Hysteroscopy induced minor endometrial trauma (petechiae, ecchymosis) in four bitches, affecting superficial layers.

Conclusions:

  • Hysteroscopy is a highly sensitive method for canine endometrial evaluation.
  • Further research is needed to ascertain hysteroscopy's impact on subsequent canine fertility.
