Vet Specialty & Emergency Center Launches Comprehensive Minimally Invasive Veterinary Program with Endoscopy and Laparoscopic Surgery from VetOvation
Mamaroneck, NY — Februaru 2026 — VetOvation, a veterinary minimally invasive equipment provider, announces that Vet Specialty & Emergency Center in Mamaroneck, NY has adopted the Endoscopy + Laparoscopy Surgical System— a combined veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery platform. With this installation, Vet Specialty & Emergency Center now offers a complete range of minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical services for pets, from endoscopic diagnostics and foreign body retrieval to laparoscopic keyhole surgery — all under one roof.
What Are Veterinary Endoscopy and Laparoscopic Surgery?
Veterinary endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a small camera (endoscope) inserted through a natural body opening — such as the mouth, nose, or ear canal — to visualize internal structures, collect biopsy samples, and perform treatments. No surgical incisions are required for most endoscopic procedures.
Veterinary laparoscopic surgery (also called laparoscopy, keyhole surgery, or minimally invasive surgery) is a surgical technique that uses a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through one or more tiny incisions (typically 5–12 mm) in the abdomen. The surgeon operates while viewing a magnified, high-definition image on a monitor. Laparoscopic surgery causes significantly less pain and tissue trauma than traditional open surgery.
Together, veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopy provide the veterinarian with a complete minimally invasive toolkit for diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions in dogs and cats.
Veterinary Endoscopy Procedures Now Available at Vet Specialty & Emergency Center
Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy in dogs and cats — Direct visualization and tissue biopsy of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines for chronic vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and gastrointestinal tumors.
Endoscopic foreign body retrieval in dogs and cats — Non-surgical removal of swallowed objects such as toys, bones, fabric, socks, and other items from a pet’s stomach or esophagus, eliminating the need for open surgery in many cases.
Rhinoscopy (nasal endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Investigation of chronic nasal discharge, sneezing, nosebleeds, and suspected nasal masses or foreign bodies with direct visualization and biopsy.
Bronchoscopy (airway endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Tracheal and bronchial examination for chronic cough, airway collapse, and respiratory infections, including bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for targeted diagnostics.
Video otoscopy (ear endoscopy) in dogs and cats — Advanced ear evaluation, deep-ear treatment, polyp removal, and myringotomy for chronic or refractory ear infections.
Veterinary Laparoscopic Surgery Procedures Now Available at Vet Specialty & Emergency Center
Laparoscopic spay (ovariectomy / ovariohysterectomy) in dogs and cats — Minimally invasive spay surgery with up to 65% less postoperative pain and return to normal activity within 24–48 hours compared to 10–14 days for traditional spay.
Laparoscopic organ biopsy (liver, kidney, pancreas, intestinal biopsy) in dogs and cats — Definitive diagnostic tissue samples collected through tiny incisions, avoiding large surgical wounds.
Laparoscopic gastropexy for bloat prevention (GDV prevention) in dogs — Prophylactic stomach-tacking to prevent life-threatening gastric dilatation-volvulus in at-risk large and giant breed dogs, often combined with laparoscopic spay.
Laparoscopic cryptorchid surgery (retained testicle removal) in dogs — Minimally invasive removal of undescended testicles without a large abdominal incision.
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy in dogs — Minimally invasive adrenal gland tumor removal with reduced surgical trauma.
Laparoscopic abdominal exploration in dogs and cats — Minimally invasive alternative to full exploratory laparotomy for abdominal assessment, diagnosis, and sampling.
Benefits of a Combined Veterinary Endoscopy and Laparoscopy Program
Having both veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery available in the same practice means:
- Complete minimally invasive capability — The right tool for every case, whether the condition calls for endoscopic diagnostics, laparoscopic surgery, or both
- Fewer referrals to specialty centers — More cases can be diagnosed and treated in-house, keeping patients with their trusted veterinary team
- Coordinated diagnostics and treatment — Endoscopic evaluation and laparoscopic intervention can be planned together for comprehensive patient workups
- Less invasive options for more conditions — Pets benefit from smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and reduced anesthesia time across a wider range of procedures
- Shared platform efficiency — Endoscopy and laparoscopy share core components (camera, monitor, light source, recording), making the combined system a cost-effective investment for the practice and accessible pricing for clients

Frequently Asked Questions About Veterinary Endoscopy and Laparoscopy
What is the difference between veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopy? Veterinary endoscopy uses a camera inserted through a natural body opening (mouth, nose, ear) to diagnose and treat conditions without any incisions. Veterinary laparoscopy uses a camera and instruments inserted through small incisions (5–12 mm) in the abdomen to perform surgery with minimal tissue trauma. Both are minimally invasive, but they are used for different types of conditions and procedures.
What conditions can be diagnosed or treated with veterinary endoscopy? Veterinary endoscopy is commonly used for chronic vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal foreign body removal, chronic nasal discharge, chronic cough, airway collapse, and chronic ear infections in dogs and cats.
What surgeries can be performed laparoscopically in dogs and cats? Common veterinary laparoscopic surgeries include laparoscopic spay (ovariectomy), organ biopsy (liver, kidney, pancreas, intestine), preventive gastropexy for bloat/GDV, cryptorchid (retained testicle) surgery, adrenalectomy, and abdominal exploration.
Is minimally invasive veterinary surgery safe? Both veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery are widely considered safe. They have been used in veterinary medicine for over two decades. The smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma associated with minimally invasive techniques are generally associated with fewer complications and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
How much do veterinary endoscopy and laparoscopy cost? Costs vary by procedure, patient size, and geographic area. Contact Vet Specialty & Emergency Center directly for pricing. Minimally invasive procedures may have a higher upfront fee but can reduce overall costs through faster recovery, fewer complications, and shorter hospital stays.
Does my pet need a referral for endoscopy or laparoscopic surgery? Vet Specialty & Emergency Center does not require a referral, but they are strongly reccommended.
