OVERVIEW
Here at VRC, our mission is to always provide the best, latest, and least invasive procedures to take care of your pet, no matter what may be ailing them. When it is necessary to inspect or operate upon something in your pet’s chest cavity, we use an advanced and minimally invasive surgical technique known as thoracoscopy. Using a small fiber optic camera or scope, our surgeons can inspect internal organs and tissues and even perform specific procedures with only a small incision in your pet’s skin. This not only reduces pain and trauma for your pet but also allows for faster post-operative recovery time and decreases the likelihood of infection or other risk factors. Your pet will be more comfortable with fewer pain medications, and thoracoscopic procedures can often be done on an outpatient basis or with just an overnight stay.
