The canine pyometritis is an adult bitch illness characterized by the inflammation of the uterus with secretion accumulation. Hematometra is a consequence of the piometritis, however it is characterized for diapese of erythrocytes for the uterus, which changes the coloration of the secretion. The treatment ought to be immediate and aggressive, and the advised treatment is ovariohysterectomy for seriously ill animals. This report describes the laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterctomy as a surgical treatment of hematometra in a bitch akita, six years-old with 34kg. The laparoscopic was the occlusion of ovarian vessels and mesovarium attachment using three portals technique. The uterine vessels and uterus were managed through a small pre-pubic celiotomy. No complications or reincidence of the disease were noticed, showing the effectiveness of the procedure in dogs. Seven month adequate postoperative evolution reassured the surgical conduct performed.KEY WORDS: Bitches, surgery, laparoscopy, pyometritis, treatment.
