Whether your pet needs to be spayed or neutered, or have exploratory surgery, Care First Animal Hospital offers laparoscopic procedures with minimal downtime.
What Is A Veterinary Laparoscopy?
A laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows a veterinarian to perform various operations with tiny incisions. Also known as keyhole surgery, a laparoscopy doesn’t create a large incision—specialized instruments and a laparoscope are used to access the interior of the abdomen and pelvis.

Benefits Of Laparoscopy
- Minimal scarring. Laparoscopy involves only small incisions, leaving minimal scarring behind.
- Faster recovery. Pets undergoing laparoscopic procedures typically experience faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Your pet will likely be able to return to their normal activities in a shorter period of time.
- Less pain. Small incisions involve less tissue than traditional surgeries. This means your pet will need fewer pain medications and have a more comfortable recovery period.
