A laparoscopy technique was employed to sterilize five adult male dogs. The animals were sedated with a combination of medetomidine and buprenorphine intravenously and a fragment of the ductus deferens, about 2 cm in length, was removed after having been cauterized and cut, using atraumatic forceps and a pair of scissors connected to an electrocautery unit. The procedure was easy, quick and safe. The animals had no complications after the intervention and made a good recovery.
