A preliminary study was carried out with two experimental intact male horses and subsequently the procedure was performed in two clinical cases. These horse owners want to keep their animals in the most possible natural way, preserving its stallion behaviour in a herd without generating offspring. The horses were sedated and restrained in stocks and laparoscopic vasectomy was performed using three portal sites in both paralumbar fossae recording surgical times. A 4-cm segment of each ductus deferens (DD) was occluded with laparoscopic vessel sealing devices and subsequently excised. Semen collection was performed using an artificial vagina before the laparoscopic procedure and at 15 and 60 days postoperatively. Sexual behaviour and spermiogram were analysed. Two months after vasectomy, control laparoscopy was performed in experimental horses to assess the surgical site. Bilateral vasectomy could be performed without intraoperative complications in a mean surgical time of 20 min per DD. Success of the procedure was confirmed in all cases by azoospermic ejaculates 60 days after vasectomy. This is the first time that the technique for laparoscopic vasectomy is described in horses. 000148548 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000148548 590__ $$a2.442$$b2019 000148548 591__ $$aVETERINARY SCIENCES$$b10 / 141 = 0.071$$c2019$$dQ1$$eT1 000148548 592__ $$a0.356$$b2019 000148548 593__ $$aVeterinary (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ2 000148548 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ3 000148548 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000148548 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7188-0461$$aRomero, Antonio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148548 700__ $$aFuente, Sara$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148548 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9818-508X$$aBarrachina, Laura$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148548 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-8712-2275$$aVazquez, Francisco José$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148548 7102_ $$11001$$2420$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
