MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY

Whenever possible, our veterinary surgeons employ minimally invasive surgical techniques involving the use of tiny, pencil-size cameras and instruments that are inserted through very small incisions (less than a half-inch). Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), also known as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy, or “keyhole” surgery, is an advanced approach that reduces post-surgery recovery time, scarring, pain, and overall risk. Our surgeons have extensive training in MIS and a dedicated operating room that utilizes cutting-edge surgical equipment. Procedures can often be done on an outpatient basis or involve just an overnight stay.
