We’re excited to offer advanced surgical care at Vetscape, including laparoscopic spays for female dogs 🐾
A laparoscopic, or “keyhole,” spay is a minimally invasive procedure that uses one or two tiny incisions rather than a large abdominal cut. Through these small openings, a specialized camera (laparoscope) and instruments are inserted, giving the surgeon a clear view of the ovaries on a monitor. This allows for precise removal of the ovaries (ovariectomy) while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
Unlike traditional spays, which often remove both the uterus and ovaries, this modern technique typically removes only the ovaries, leading to numerous benefits:
✅ Less pain during and after surgery
✅ Smaller incisions for a neater, less invasive procedure
✅ Faster recovery, allowing your dog to return to normal activity sooner
✅ Lower risk of complications
For eligible dogs, laparoscopic spays provide a safe, effective and comfortable alternative to traditional methods, ensuring your pet’s wellbeing and a smoother recovery experience.
