Laser Surgery, Spay & Neuter
Pet Surgery Elkton, MD
Even though we still do traditional surgery for most procedures, where applicable we prefer to use the surgical laser. Utilizing the laser gives the surgeon the ability to remove the effected tissue with extreme precision and minimally impact healthy tissue.
Laser Surgery
The benefits of laser surgery for your pet include:
- Less Post-Operative Pain - The laser seals nerve endings as it cuts, so the nerves are not able to send messages to the brain notifying it to feel pain.
- Less Bleeding and Blood Loss - Laser energy seals small blood vessels during surgery, which results in less bleeding and less time required for the procedure.
- Less Swelling - With laser technology only light comes into contact with tissue and it seals lymphatic vessels resulting in less swelling. Less Infection -The laser energy sterilizes as it is used killing bacteria that can cause infection.
- Quicker Recovery -With less pain, bleeding and swelling your pet will recover quicker. The removal of small skin tumors and growths is now easier and quicker with laser surgery. We can often remove these when the patient is already anesthetized for a dental cleaning.
We feel laser surgery with all its benefits provides the best possible care for your pet and can be used for most common procedures like spay, neutering, removal of tumors and much more.
Spay & Neuter
Spay and neuter is an important part of preventative healthcare for dogs and cats. We recommend spaying and neutering all dogs and cats at around six months of age. Spay and neuter helps avoid unwanted pregnancies, behavioral problem, and aggression issues.
