In the present study, 36 male dogs were evaluated, intervened through the massive sterilization project carried out by the University of Cuenca in agreement with the Municipal Autonomous Decentralized Government of the canton of Cuenca. Twelve animals were analyzed by surgical technique and 3 techniques were evaluated: Technique A pre-scrotal orchiectomy, Technique B, traditional scrotal orchiectomy and Technique C, modified scrotal orchiectomy. In the intra-surgical period, the following were taken into account: total times of each technique, amount of blood in the surgical time, surgical costs / kg / dog; in the postoperative period, the following were evaluated: degree of existing pain, recovery in terms of healing, presence of infections, dehiscence of points, loss of weight of the animal, existence of deaths and application of prescription and indications by the owners. These data were obtained on days 2, 8 and 15 after surgery, with them it was determined that there are significant differences between treatments only in the time between techniques in which the mean was 5.46 ± 0.23; 3.18 ± 0.419; 2.25 ± 0.210 minutes, for techniques A, B and C respectively. In the amount of bleeding, an average of 0.56 ± 0.076 was obtained; 0.67 ± 0.098; 0.52 ± 0.102 grams, for each technique, in terms of costs, the means obtained were 19.67 ± 0.874; 19.60 ± 0.932; 18.27 ± 0.833 dollars. In the postoperative evaluation, the most convenient technique considering lower pain, minor complications and better healing turned out to be technique A.
