What is Laparoscopic Spaying?
Laparoscopic spaying involves using a small camera and specialised instruments to remove the ovaries through tiny incisions in the abdomen. Unlike traditional spaying, which requires a larger incision, this method significantly reduces tissue trauma and promotes a faster, more comfortable recovery for your dog.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Spaying
✅ Smaller Incisions – Typically 2-3 small incisions (5-10mm), reducing wound size and discomfort.
✅ Reduced Pain – Studies show this technique results in significantly less post-operative pain compared to traditional spaying.
✅ Faster Recovery – Most dogs recover more quickly and can return to normal activity sooner.
✅ Lower Risk of Complications – Reduced chance of infection, swelling, and wound breakdown.
✅ Improved Precision – The use of a camera allows for better visualisation of internal structures, leading to a safer and more precise procedure.

Is Laparoscopic Spaying Right for My Dog?
Laparoscopic spaying is suitable for most dogs, especially those prone to post-operative complications or those who need a quicker recovery. However, in some cases, traditional spaying may still be recommended based on your pet’s health, size, or medical history.
