laser surgery |
Your pet's health is a important to us as it is to you.
We are pleased to offer laser surgery as an exciting new option for safe, comfortable treatment.
In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.
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 precision. This also speeds
some procedures reducing the need for anesthesia.
Less Swelling - Laser energy does nor crush, tear or
bruise because only a beam of intense light contacts
the tissue.
WHAT
DOES THIS
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 healthy surrounding
tissue.
Quick Return to Normal Activities - Recovery is rapid
and there is less post-operative discomfort.
ARE
LASERS NEW?
Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over
30 years. This human experience is proving to be

be among the first veterinary practices to offer laser
surgery specifically for pets.

specific wavelength of light that it
produces. For
example, the most commonly used surgical laser is
a CO2 laser
which produces an invisible beam of
light that vaporizes the water normally found in the skin
and other soft tissue. Because your veterinarian can
precisely control the laser, only a thin layer of tissue is
removed, leaving the surrounding areas unaffected.
