Similar to the evolution of human surgery, minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy) is the way of the future for pets because it provides a safer surgery as well as a truly diminished level of pain suffered by the animals. Many procedures can be performed through a dime-size incision and the organs viewed via a state of-the-art camera system. These procedures include liver and other organ Biopsies, Gastropexies, removal of retained testicles, bladder stone removal and many other procedures. Blood vessels can be visualized before and during the cauterization, minimizing the risks of hemorrhage.
