WHAT IS LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY?

Laparoscopic surgery in veterinary medicine, also known as keyhole or minimally invasive surgery, is a technique where a veterinarian uses a specialized camera and instruments inserted through small incisions (about the size of a keyhole) to perform procedures inside the abdomen or pelvis. Common types of surgery which can be performed using laparoscopic techniques include spay & gastropexy.

THE GENTLE SPAY©

Laparoscopic spay is a modern, less invasive, and more advanced surgical technique which offers numerous benefits for your pet's health and recovery. the procedure in animal health removes the ovaries through a small incision using a laparoscopic camera and specialized instruments. Consult with your veterinarian to help determine if it's the right choice for your animal companion.

What are advantages of a laparoscopic spay?

Minimally Invasive

During the procedure, one to three small incisions are made in the abdomen; and, results in less tissue trauma, bleeding, and pain compared to traditional spaying.

Improved Visualization

The specialized laparoscopic equipment provides the veterinary surgeon a magnified view, allowing for more precise and controlled surgical procedures.

Reduced Pain

Studies show that laparoscopic spays cause significantly less postoperative pain than traditional spay.

Faster Recovery

Shorter anesthesia time, smaller incisions and less tissue manipulation during the procedure help animals recover more quickly and return to normal activity sooner.

Lower Risk

Smaller incisions mean less exposure of internal tissues to external contaminants, reducing the risk of postoperative infection.

GASTROPEXY

A gastropexy is a laparoscopic surgical procedure where the stomach is attached to the abdominal wall. The procedure is done to prevent the stomach from twisting or flipping, a condition known as gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) or bloat. It is primarily performed on dogs, in particular those at high risk of GDV due to breed or other factors.
