 Surgery is best performed before stasis progresses while the animal is metabolically stable.

 Surgery should be an immediate consideration for chelonians with documented chronic stasis, metabolic derangements, and when egg yolk coelomitis is suspected.

 The goal of surgery is to remove the follicles and perform an ovariectomy, to avoid reoccurrence.

 Follicular stasis is commonly associated with follicles on both ovaries but even if only one is affected, bilateral ovariectomy is recommended.

 Extreme care must be taken to not rupture the follicles in the coelomic cavity, as the

 Follicular Stasis

 yolk is extremely antigenic and will cause a severe inflammatory response.

 If leakage occurs, the coelomic cavity should be thoroughly lavaged before closure.
