Veterinary laparoscopy is a type of minimally invasive surgery.

Minimally invasive surgery, a consolidated technique in the field of human surgery, is increasingly being developed also in the veterinary field. The surgeon operates inside the body cavities of the animal through the use of cutting-edge instruments introduced through small openings (5-10 mm) in diameter. The endoscope sends back the high definition image of the internal organs, thus allowing the visualization of the cavity spaces from different angles. Equipment specifically dedicated to veterinary medicine allows you to operate regardless of the size of the animal.

Advantages:

• Reduction of post-operative pain.
• Reduction of recovery times.
• Inferior manipulation of the internal organs by the surgeon (direct visualization allows to act directly and with extreme precision on the anatomical tract involved).
• Reduced risk of post-operative infection.

Contraindications:

• Organ excision of large masses
• Severe obesity

Below are some operations that can be performed in minimally invasive surgery.
