 For
the past three years at the Animal Medical Center we have been doing laser
surgery exclusively for all procedures. Laser surgery replaces the scalpel
and provides a better alternative to traditional surgery. It allows safer
and more comfortable treatment for your pets.
Why
Laser Surgery?
-
Less
Pain - Laser energy seals nerve endings as it moves through tissue.
Your pet feels less pain post-operatively.
-
Less
Bleeding - The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery which
allows your doctor to perform surgeries with extraordinary precisioun.
This also speeds some procedures reducing the need for anesthesia.
-
Less
Swelling - Laser energy does not crush, tear, or bruise because only
a beam of intense light contacts the issue.
What
Does This Mean For My Pet?
-
Reduced
Risk Of Infection - The laser sterilizes as it removes diseased tissue,
killing bacteria that cause infection.
-
Precision
- The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse affects
to health, surrounding tissue.
-
Quick
Return To Normal Activities - Recovery is rapid and there is less post-operative
discomfort.
What
Types Of Procedures Can A Laser Perform?
A
laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats,
birds and other pets. Laser surgery can correct many common conditions
such as cysts, tumors, warts and infections that may occur around the eyes,
ears, in the mouth, and anywhere on the skin. Specialized internal procedures
are also possible.
