What Is Laparoscopic Surgery for Pets?
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows veterinarians to operate using a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions. It’s an advanced alternative to traditional open surgery and is growing in popularity among pet owners who want a safer, gentler option for their furry family members.
Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery for Dogs and Cats
When it comes to your pet’s comfort, laparoscopic surgery offers significant advantages:
- Smaller incisions mean faster healing
- Up to 65% less post-op pain compared to traditional surgery
- Fewer complications and reduced risk of infection
- Most pets return to normal activity in just 24 hours
Whether your pet is young and energetic or a senior in need of extra care, this technique is a great fit for many common procedures.
