VETERINARY LASER SURGERY
Is Laser Surgery Right For Your Pet?
Schaumburg Veterinary Hospital offers Laser Surgery
options for your pet.
Laser surgery
reduces your pet's recovery time and results in less
bleeding, less swelling, and less post-operative
pain than traditional surgery.
What Is A Laser?
A laser is a device that generates an intense beam of light that
can cut, seal or vaporize tissue. Lasers have been successfully used on humans for over 30 years. The knowledge gained in human medicine is beneficial for your
pets. Your pet's health is as important to us as it is to you.
Advances in
veterinary medicine now allow us to offer laser surgery as an exciting new
option for safer, more comfortable treatment. In many procedures, the laser can
replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery.
 Why Laser Surgery?
The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts". As a result,
your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable post operatively.
The laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. This speeds
many procedures, reducing the time your pet needs to be under anesthesia, which
further reduces possible complications.
Laser energy does not crush, tear or bruise tissue because the
only thing that touches your pet is an invisible beam of light.
 What
Does This Mean For My Pet?
As the laser removes diseased tissue, it seals the skin and
reduces the amount of bacteria present.
The laser can remove unhealthy tissue while minimizing adverse
effects to healthy surrounding tissue.
Healing is rapid and there is less
post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing.
FASTER RECOVERY
The laser is ideal
for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles,
exotics, horses and other pets. Laser surgery is commonly used in soft-tissue
surgical procedures. Your veterinarian will be able to tell you if your pet's
procedure can benefit from laser surgery.
Veterinary laser surgery has
improved our capabilities by allowing us to provide better pain management, less
bleeding and a faster recovery time.
This means we can provide our
clients and their pets with improved patient care and cutting edge technology.
