In-house and Outside Lab Testing A laparoscopic spay is an advanced, minimally invasive alternative to a traditional spay procedure. Instead of a larger abdominal incision, this technique is performed through two small incisions, using a specialized camera and instruments. This equipment allows our surgical team to operate with exceptional precision while minimizing disruption to surrounding tissues. The result is a procedure designed to improve comfort, reduce recovery time, and support a smoother overall experience for your pet.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Spay?

Laparoscopic spay offers several advantages over traditional techniques, including:

  • Smaller incisions with less tissue trauma
  • Reduced discomfort during recovery
  • Lower risk of post-operative complications
  • Faster return to normal activity
  • Minimal scarring

For many active or larger breed dogs, this approach can make a noticeable difference in how quickly they return to their normal routine.

How the Procedure Works

Using advanced laparoscopic equipment, a small camera is inserted through tiny incisions in the abdomen. This provides clear, magnified view of the surgical site.

The ovarian structures are carefully sealed and divided using precise surgical techniques, allowing for minimal bleeding throughout the procedure.

Additional Benefits

A laparoscopic spay can also be paired with a gastropexy, a preventative procedure often recommended for large and deep-chested breeds to reduce the risk of bloat (GDV). Performing both procedures at the same time means a single anesthesia event and recovery period.

Is My Pet a Candidate?

A laparoscopic spay procedure is an excellent option for many dogs, particularly those who are young, healthy, and active patients. Call Wilson Veterinary Hospital to schedule a consultation with our surgical team to determine if this approach is a great fit for your pet.
