Laser Surgery

A safe alternative to traditional surgery.

Laser surgery is a safe alternative to traditional surgery. As the name implies, this particular type of surgery is performed using a highly focused, handheld laser beam.

Unlike traditional surgery, laser surgery vaporizes soft tissue while simultaneously cauterizing it. This reduces the time it takes to perform the procedure and efficiently kills any bacteria in its path.

When available, laser surgery is often preferable to traditional surgery for these reasons:

Less pain and bleeding
Decreased swelling
Reduced risk of infection
Increased precision
Increased speed of procedure/decreased anesthesia time
Quicker overall recovery

Although laser surgery isn’t right for every surgical procedure, more often than not, it is an available option. Procedures commonly performed with laser surgery include:

Spays
Neuters
Biopsies
C-sections
Mass removals (including cysts, polyps, and tumors)
