Laser surgery

 

Here are some advatages of laser surgery compared to traditional surgery. 

 

Reduced bleeding: 

As the incision is made, the laser cauterizes and seals the small blood resells by a process called photo coagulation. This greatly reduces the risk of hemorrhaging and/or loss of blood. It also facilitates the surgeon’s task since the bleeding does not hide any structures. For most surgeries, the operating and anesthetic times are significantly reduces, which reduces many risks related to the anesthesia. 

 

Reduced infections: 

With its energy, the laser has an antimicrobial effect. The high temperature it generates as it penetrates the tissues kill the bacteria present on the skin where the incision is made. The risks of post- operative infections are therefore greatly reduced. 

 

Reduced pain: 

The high temperature generated by the laser seals the nerve endings, which as a result dismisses greatly post-operative pain. This, in turn improves the quality of the recovery period. What a relief for the pet and his owner! 

 

Reduced edema: 

The laser seals the lymphatic vessels responsible for post-operative edema. Edema is an accumulation of liquid within the different layers of the wound. This can cause infections as well as rupture in the stitches. In addition, edema is a source of discomfort for the patient. Laser surgery greatly reduces these risks, which increases the security of the surgery. Your pet will feel much better! 

 

Great precision of the surgery: 

The incision created with the laser beam is very precise which reduces the risk of damage to the surrounding tissues.

In addition, our lasers are equipped with the super pulse mode, which is an extremely rapid pulse resembling that of a continuous beam, but that avoids overheating the tissues. This is very useful for surgeries where the tissues are very sensitive to heat.  

 

Customer satisfaction:  

Our clients great satisfaction with laser surgery is mainly due to the fact that the quality of the convalescence period of their fury friend is generally very good and that there is very few post-operative complications associated with this technique. It is for these reasons that we use surgical lasers. We have an extensive line of lasers including a CO2 nova pulse and a Diode k-laser.
