Laparoscopic Spay & Cryptorchid Castrate

Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for spaying female dogs and removing abdominally retained testicles from male dogs.

Laparoscopic (Keyhole) Neutering

Keyhole surgery is a minimally invasive alternative to traditional neutering surgery. Offering a safer, more comfortable alternative by using small incisions and a camera, we perform the procedure with significantly less trauma to your pet.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Smaller Incisions - Only 2 tiny incisions (5-10mm) compared to larger traditional incisions
  • Less Pain - Studies show up to 65% less post-operative pain
  • Faster Recovery - Most dogs return to normal activity within days
  • Reduced Complications - Minimal bleeding and lower risk of infection
  • Better Visualisation - Camera allows for thorough examination of abdominal organs
  • Less Bruising - Minimal tissue trauma means less swelling

How It Works

During a laparoscopic surgery, we make two small incisions in the abdomen. A camera (laparoscope) is inserted to provide a magnified view of the internal organs on a monitor. Specialised instruments are used to carefully remove the ovaries or testicles with precision and minimal handling of tissues.

Is Laparoscopic Spay Right for Your Dog?

Laparoscopic spays are suitable for most female dogs. The procedure is particularly beneficial for:

  • Most dog breeds large or small
  • Active or working dogs who need a quick recovery
  • Dogs whose owners prefer the most advanced surgical option
  • Older or overweight dogs particularly benefit

What to Expect

After surgery, most dogs go home the same day with minimal restrictions. The small incisions heal quickly, and most pets are back to their normal selves within a few days.
