What is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Keyhole surgery uses specialist instruments and endoscopes (cameras) to perform surgeries though small incisions in the abdomen. Large incisions can be avoided during laparoscopy because the surgeon uses an instrument called a laparoscope. Minimally invasive surgeries have largely replaced traditional 'open' surgeries and this is especially true with Laparoscopic spays. The marked benefits it offers, includes:
- Reduced post-operative pain and discomfort
- Faster return to normal activity levels - especially useful for active or working dogs
- Smaller surgical wounds with a decreased risk of wound infections
- Better visibility during surgery Decreased surgical time
