At Lowell Animal Hospital, we’re proud to offer laparoscopic surgery—a minimally invasive surgical option that provides faster recovery, less pain, and smaller incisions for your pet. Also known as keyhole surgery, this advanced technique allows us to explore and treat conditions within the abdominal cavity without the need for traditional open procedures, ensuring your pet receives high-quality care with less discomfort.
Laparoscopic surgery involves inserting a tiny camera (laparoscope) through a small incision to examine your pet’s internal organs. Specialized instruments are then guided using this real-time video feed to perform procedures with greater precision and minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
This surgical option is often used for procedures such as spaying, organ biopsies, or abdominal explorations. Because of its precision and less invasive nature, laparoscopic surgery is ideal for pets who may benefit from reduced pain, quicker healing, and a lower risk of complications.
Before the procedure, we’ll provide specific instructions regarding fasting and any necessary diagnostics. Your pet will be under general anesthesia, and our team will monitor them closely throughout the entire process to ensure their safety and comfort.
