Laparoscopic Spay

In traditional bitch spays, both the ovaries and uterus are removed (ovariectomy) through a large incision in the abdominal area. Laparoscopic or keyhole spays are a newer option that involves only the removal of the ovaries (ovariectomy). Extensive research conducted over many years has demonstrated that this method is a safe and effective technique for spaying.

Laparoscopic spays utilise keyhole surgery, which is carried out through two small incisions measuring between 5 to 10 mm, rather than one larger incision that spans several centimetres as seen in conventional spays. Using these tiny incisions, we use an endoscopic camera along with specialized tools to complete the procedure.

Laparoscopic surgery has many advantages over traditional surgery. The benefits of keyhole include:

• Reduction of post operative pain compared with traditional surgery
• Reduced recovery time
• No sutures for your pet to lick or chew
• Studies show a reduction in post operative complications following laparoscopic spay

Cost/ Enquiries:

Laparoscopic spays are more expensive than a conventional spay due to the specialised equipment and training involved, so if you would like an estimate then please call the surgery.
