Laparoscopy

Laparoscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is an alternative method of performing various abdominal surgeries.

In veterinary laparoscopic surgery, a small camera called a laparoscope, and other specialized instruments, are inserted through tiny incisions in your pet’s abdomen. This setup allows the surgeon to view internal structures on a monitor, eliminating the need for large cuts. Often referred to as “keyhole surgery,” this technique reduces tissue damage and fosters quicker healing. It’s frequently employed for procedures such as spaying, biopsies, and removing retained testicles.

Smaller Incisions: This technique uses tiny incisions, which can lead to less pain and a lesser need for pain medications.
Lower Risk of Infection: The minimally invasive nature of laparoscopic surgery decreases the likelihood of postoperative infections.
Faster Recovery: Pets often return to their normal activities more quickly after laparoscopic procedures compared to traditional surgeries.
Reduced Pain: Studies have shown that dogs undergoing laparoscopic procedures exhibit significantly less pain compared to traditional methods.
