The Benefits of Laser Surgery With Your Clifton Veterinarian
Cats, dogs, and other animals are sometimes in need of surgical procedures to resolve a health problem or enhance their well-being and longevity. At Valley Animal Hospital, our pet surgeon team is pleased to offer pet laser surgery among our many advanced veterinary medicine services to better serve our pets and pet owners.
Pet Laser Surgery Explained By Your Clifton Veterinarian
Conventional pet surgery requires the use of scalpels to create incisions and/or extract certain tissues. Conversely, pet laser surgery utilizes a specialized laser which delivers a high energy beam of light to target tissue, which vaporizes soft tissue cells without the need for sharp instruments.
Benefits Of Pet Laser Surgery
Here's why our veterinarian in Clifton NJ prefers the use of pet laser surgery whenever possible:
-
Cleaner incisions. The accuracy and precision of the CO2 laser allows the pet surgeon to create cleaner incisions and avoid damaging delicate tissue.
-
Less bleeding, pain, and swelling. The CO2 laser effectively cauterizes blood vessels. This, along with less damage to nearby tissue, helps to reduce blood loss. Less bleeding during surgery also results in less post-operative pain and swelling for your animal.
-
Less scarring. Cleaner incision lines helps to minimize scar tissue formation.
-
Faster, less complicated recovery. Pets who have received pet laser surgery are generally able to return to normal activity sooner, and have a lower risk of infection.
