- PMID 41555629 (2026, Veterinary surgery : VS) — *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* A clinical case series of 20 client-owned companion pigs (9 production-breed, 11 miniature) undergoing single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for ovariectomy (OVE, 80%) or ovariohysterectomy (OVH, 20%) found SILS OVE successful in all cases with no difference in complications between breed groups. SILS OVH succeeded in only one case (25%, near-normal uterus); the other three miniature pigs with abnormal uteri were converted to open surgery. The authors conclude SILS OVE is a safe alternative to multiport laparoscopy for companion pigs, while SILS OVH is feasible only in select patients.

- PMID 41952171 (2026, BMC veterinary research) — Uterine squamous cell carcinoma in a 10-year-old Vietnamese pot-bellied pig (Sus scrofa domesticus).. Abstract (opening): A 10-year-old intact female Vietnamese Pot-bellied pet pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) presented to the Production Animal Clinic at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Academic Hospital in South Africa (OVAH) with recurrent vaginal bleeding as the primary complaint. Clinical examination, vaginoscopy with vaginal cytology and abdominal ultrasound localised the haemorrhage to the reproductive tract and initially revealed a pyometra. After the failure of medical treatment with a luteolytic agent, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics, an exploratory laparotomy was performed, during which two macroscopical uterine lesions were observed. Histopathology identified the lesions as a squamous cell carcinoma infiltrating the endo- and myometrium and a focal endometrial polyp. An ovariohysterectomy resulted in a full recovery. No evidence of pulmonary metastases was found. *[CC BY — Open Access, verbatim with attribution.]*
