Benefits of Laser Surgery

Advanced care for your pet’s surgical procedures

At South Hyland Pet Hospital, we use a CO₂ surgical laser to deliver superior outcomes for your pet—whether they are undergoing routine surgery or complex soft‑tissue procedures.

 

Why laser surgery?

• Minimized bleeding & better visibility
  The laser beam seals small blood vessels as it cuts, drastically reducing bleeding and allowing the veterinarian to work with enhanced precision. This benefit opens the door to surgeries in areas that are otherwise challenging — such as inside the nose, throat or eyes.
• Less pain, reduced swelling
  Because the laser seals nerve endings and lymphatic vessels, your pet tends to experience a more comfortable recovery. Less tissue trauma means less swelling and faster return to activity.
• Lower risk of infection
  The high heat of the laser sterilizes the incision site as it works, decreasing the chance of post‑operative infection. Plus, the no‑touch nature of many procedures further reduces contaminant exposure.
• Faster recovery, shorter anesthesia time
  With bleeding minimized and surgical precision improved, procedures can often be completed more quickly. That means your pet spends less time under anesthesia — reducing risk — and is back on their feet sooner.
• Greater surgical flexibility and precision
  The laser enables delicate work in sensitive locations, and may reduce the need for sutures in some cases (e.g., spays, certain oral or nasal procedures).

 

What this means for your pet

By choosing laser‑assisted surgery at South Hyland:

• Your pet can get back to eating, walking, and enjoying life sooner.
• They will likely experience less discomfort during recovery.
• We can offer advanced surgical options with reduced complication risk.

 

Is laser surgery right for your pet?

If your pet requires a soft‑tissue surgical procedure — such as tumor removal, ear or nasal surgery, oral or ophthalmic work, or routine spay/neuter — ask us about laser‑assisted technique. Our team will evaluate your pet’s needs and explain whether the laser option is appropriate.
