When it comes to your pet’s health, every detail matters — especially when surgery is needed. At Fynbos Animal Hospital, we understand how stressful it can be for both pets and their owners, which is why we offer a modern, minimally invasive alternative: laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique where veterinarians operate through very small incisions using a tiny camera and specialized instruments. This allows for precise and effective treatment without the need for large surgical openings.
The Benefits for Your Pet
This advanced method offers several advantages:
Less pain: Smaller incisions mean less tissue trauma and post-operative discomfort.
Faster recovery: Pets bounce back sooner, returning to their normal routines quickly.
Reduced risk of infection: Smaller wounds heal faster and more safely.
Smaller scars: A gentler approach leaves minimal scarring.
Common Procedures Done Laparoscopically
Many routine and complex procedures can be performed using this technique, such as:
Spaying
Biopsies
Gastropexy (stomach tacking)
Exploratory procedures
