What is a laparoscopic spay?
Laparoscopy, also called bandaid or keyhole surgery, is a modern surgical technique aided by cameras that enable surgeons to access the abdomen or pelvis without the need to make a large incision. When it comes to laparoscopic desexing, small portholes are made to enter the abdomen and only the ovaries are removed – unlike traditional spaying where both the ovaries and uterus are removed.
Less invasive
A laparoscopic spay requires one or two incisions of 0.5-1cm, as opposed to the 6-15cm incision required for traditional spaying. Because it is much more precise, there will be less bruising at the surgical site and less trauma to the organs.
Less pain
Your dog or cat will feel nowhere near the same degree of pain after laparoscopic surgery than they would with traditional spaying. By taking your pet to laparoscopic spaying, you are saving them from unnecessary pain.
