Surgical Laser

How Are Surgical Lasers Beneficial for Your Pet?

Surgical lasers vaporize tissue while simultaneously closing off everything from capillaries to nerve endings. Lasers allow veterinarians to be more precise in their work and perform higher-risk surgeries that would be nearly impossible through conventional methods. Lasers also take less time and drastically reduce the amount of blood loss, stress, and pain the animal would otherwise endure.

Benefits of Using Surgical Lasers

• Infection Risks Are Reduced: A huge benefit is a reduced risk of infection due to the laser’s sterilizing effect as it cuts through tissue.
• Amount of Blood Loss Is Reduced: The laser seals off veins, nerve endings, and lymphatic tissue causing less blood loss than the typically used scalpel.
• Faster Recovery and Less Pain: With a combination of the benefits listed above, your pet will have a much quicker recovery. Your pet will also experience less swelling and pain.

Bowel Obstructions

Any dog should be concerned when their stomach or intestines are obstructed, whether partially or fully. Blockages lead to a number of issues. They include meals and liquids not making it through the digestive system. Your dog could pass away from an intestinal blockage in 3 to 7 days.

Thyroidectomy

The surgical removal of a malignant thyroid gland in dogs is known as a thyroidectomy.

On the neck, on either side of the trachea (windpipe), dogs have two thyroid glands. The predominant condition affecting the thyroid glands in dogs is underactivity (hypothyroidism), however a tiny percentage of dogs might develop thyroid cancer. Regrettably, malignant thyroid tumours in dogs account for about 90% of cases and can spread. Because of this, early discovery and removal are the preferred treatments. The Golden Retriever, Beagle, and Boxer are the breeds most frequently diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

Lumpectomy

A lumpectomy is the removal of any abnormal lumps from the skin, muscles, or connective tissue layer of your pet. This is a surgical operation done under general anaesthesia with the typical goal of completely removing the lump.

Splenectomy

The surgical process used to remove the spleen from the body is known as a splenectomy. Splenectomy is most frequently performed to treat ruptured spleens. At the centre of the abdomen, right below the stomach, is the oblong spleen.

Amputation

Amputation refers to the surgical removal of a pet’s limb. Any number of conditions, such as a cancer diagnosis, severe injuries, fractures, infections, or chronic discomfort, may necessitate an amputation.
