Laparoscopy
Discover the Benefits of Laparoscopic Spay for Your Pet's Well-Being in Highlands Ranch!
Veterinary endoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions or natural body openings for surgery, often referred to as "keyhole surgery." One of the most common procedures is laparoscopic spay, which provides significant advantages over traditional spaying methods, including reduced pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications.
Why Choose Laparoscopic Spay?
Traditional spaying involves a 5-10 cm incision, causing pain, bruising, and a longer recovery time due to the need to tear the ovarian ligament. In contrast, laparoscopic spay uses 1-3 small incisions, offering:
- Reduced Pain: Smaller incisions lead to less trauma and up to 65% less post-operative pain.
- Minimally Invasive: The precise cuts made during the procedure decrease the likelihood of infection.
- Faster Recovery: Laparoscopic spays are often outpatient procedures, meaning your pet can recover at home without the need for an overnight stay.
Veterinary endoscopy also extends beyond spaying, with applications in foreign body removal, arthroscopic surgery, gastrointestinal endoscopy, bladder stone removal, and more advanced surgeries like gastropexy and cholecystectomy.
Why Is It Beneficial for Your Pet?
By using this advanced technique, we can reduce your pet's pain, speed up their recovery time, and minimize risks. Many laparoscopic procedures can even be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing your pet to go home the same day, making the experience less traumatic for both pets and pet owners alike.
