Laparoscopic Spays in Sussex

Laparoscopic Surgery

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

At Coastway vets, we offer laparoscopic surgery, also known as “keyhole surgery,” a gentle and advanced approach to surgical procedures for your pets. This method uses smaller incisions, which means a more comfortable experience for your pet and quicker recovery times.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Surgery?

Here are some of the fantastic benefits of laparoscopic surgery:

Smaller Incisions: Instead of larger cuts, we make just 2 to 3 tiny incisions, usually less than 1cm. These are closed with special dissolvable stitches, so there’s no need for a follow-up visit to remove them! Smaller wounds also mean less chance of your pet bothering the area while it heals.
Less Pain and Discomfort: Thanks to the smaller incisions and careful handling of tissues, your pet will experience less pain after surgery, making their recovery much smoother.
Better Visualization: Our laparoscopic equipment allows us to see the surgical area in great detail. This means we can perform procedures more precisely and safely, reducing the risk of bleeding.
Thorough Examination: The enhanced view lets our skilled surgeons check the entire abdominal cavity for any issues, ensuring your pet receives comprehensive care.
Quicker Surgery: Laparoscopic procedures typically take less time than traditional surgeries, which means your pet spends less time under anaesthesia.
Faster Recovery: With less pain and smaller incisions, most pets only need about 5 days of rest on a lead before returning to their normal activities!

Laparoscopic Services We Offer

At Coastway Vets, we provide a variety of laparoscopic surgeries, including:

Laparoscopic Spay: Neutering for female pets.
Retained Testicles: For male dogs with undescended testicles (uni or bilateral).
Laparoscopic Assisted Gastropexy: A preventive procedure against stomach torsion.
Laparoscopic Liver Biopsies: For thorough examination of liver health.

Important Information

Please note that laparoscopic procedures may require a larger area to be clipped than traditional surgeries. In rare cases, if complications arise during surgery, we may need to switch to a conventional open procedure for your pet’s safety. Rest assured, our veterinary team will discuss all options with you beforehand.

Additional Considerations

It is important to note that laparoscopic procedures may necessitate a wider surgical clip compared to conventional methods due to the need for optimal visualization and instrument maneuverability. Additionally, should any intraoperative complications arise—such as excessive bleeding or organ adhesion—conversion to an open surgical technique may be required to ensure patient safety.
