Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate application of laparoscopy in veterinary
surgery and assess the feasibility safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy using thermal
energy to control the bleeding after the partial hepatoctomy in the goats. liver
enzymes and blood counts were drawn pre and postoperatively with recorded Rectal
temperature, respiratory rate and pulse rate and record the time of returning to eat and
drink post operation. The abdominal cavity was inflated by the introduction of co2
gas . The result showed that the laparoscopic partial hepatectomy can be easily done
in goats without any complications. The mean time of the procedures was 45 minutes
(range 40 to 60 min) . The physical parameters were measured preoperatively 1
st
, 2

,
and 3
th
days postoperatively ,showed no significant increase in respiratory rate , plus
rat and temperature .The Hematological parameters Hb, PCV and Biochemical tests
AST,ALT,LDH, Showed no significant increase in number at day1,2,3 after the
surgery From the results of this study, it was concluded that the laparoscopic partial
hepatectomy can be easily done in goats without any complications.
