A laparoscopic bitch spay is a less invasive ‘keyhole’ procedure for neutering female dogs.The surgery requires investment in specialised endoscopic equipment and extensive training. Not all Vet surgeries are able to provide this, but Hamstone Vets are pleased to offer clients this procedure for their pets.
This type of surgery is often called a ‘keyhole’ approach because the procedure is performed through very small incisions approximately 5-10mm in size, that’s the size of a hazelnut! A camera is attached to specialist equipment and passed into the abdomen through these holes in the body wall. The camera is used to visualise the internal organs on the TV monitor. The surgeon then can perform the surgery with the instruments and remove the ovaries safely (ovariectomy).
A Traditional Bitch spay surgery requires a larger single wound through the abdominal wall. These can be more painful and can have a higher risk for potential post operative complications. The ovaries are attached to the body wall and this technique involves pulling the ovaries away from the wall so that the surgeon can ties off the vessels before removing them. When tension and tearing of these attachments occur this can cause more discomfort and lengthen the recovery time.
To include: full procedure, intravenous fluid therapy throughout the operation, protective body suit and 2x post operative examinations.
