What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?

Most of the benefits associated with minimally invasive surgery are self-explanatory but also commonly forgotten about. First, it is less painful. Because the incision is smaller, the surgery is not as traumatic for the pet. The recovery time is quicker; lessening the chance of a pet injuring itself or having complications from the surgery. Along with these benefits, there is low risk of an infection forming about the surgical site. Veterinarians who have chosen to adopt the minimally invasive surgical technique report clients change to their practice because they offer this benefit to pets.

Why should you use minimally invasive surgical equipment?

Minimally invasive surgery and the use of minimally invasive tools for diagnosis are safer for pets. Chances are the veterinarian down the road is already using this more modern equipment, and clients will begin to leave your practice for one that offers this more advanced medicine.

People want to see their pets suffer as little as possible, especially with elective procedures such as an ovariohysterectomy or gastropexy. Utilizing the minimally invasive surgical equipment to perform these procedures equals a shorter recovery time for the patient, a smaller incision, and less anesthesia use as the procedures are generally faster than traditional surgery.

Wouldn’t you hate to lose potential customers because your equipment is not as advanced?

Another benefit specifically for veterinarians is that minimally invasive procedures can free up your schedule, as these surgeries can take less time to perform. You can perform more surgeries in a day or spend time treating other patients or completing medical charts. Minimally invasive surgery is at the forefront of medical technology; choose what is best for your patient.
