Laparoscopic Surgery
Kingsbrook Animal Hospital Offers Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) uses laparoscopes to perform surgeries using much smaller incisions than traditional surgery. As many of you know from your own surgical procedures, the benefits of MIS include:
- less time under anesthesia
- less pain
- fewer complications
- less time in the hospital
- quicker recovery
The procedures being offered include:
- Liver Biopsy
- Spay
- Gastropexy (a surgery typically completed in larger breed dogs in which the stomach is tacked to the ribcage to prevent stomach torsion (also known as “bloat” or “gastric dilatation volvulus”).
