What Is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery uses small incisions and a camera-guided scope to perform precise surgical procedures inside the body. This technology, long used in human medicine, is now available to improve outcomes for dogs undergoing routine and preventive surgeries.

One of the most common laparoscopic procedures we offer is the LOVE Spay (Laparoscopic Ovariectomy), which involves the removal of the ovaries without removing the uterus.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Spay (LOVE Spay)

• Less pain — up to 65% less post-operative discomfort compared to traditional spay
• Faster recovery — typically 2 to 3 days of restricted activity
• Smaller incisions — lowers the risk of infection and promotes quicker healing
• Greater surgical precision — enhanced visualization and reduced bleeding
• No need to remove a healthy uterus — hormonal risks are eliminated by removing the ovaries alone

This approach is ideal for active dogs, large breeds, and pet owners seeking a safer, more comfortable option.
