Laparoscopic Spay

We are very proud to be the first veterinary practice in Swansea to be able to offer keyhole spays!

Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery is a minimally invasive technique where a surgeon uses a camera and specialized instruments inserted through small (0.3-1 cm) incisions in the body wall to perform procedures.

You may already know the many benefits of keyhole surgery for humans, and these advantages apply to our pets as well.

What are the advantages of keyhole surgery?

• Less post-operative pain
• Smaller incisions
• Faster healing time
• Fewer complications after surgery
• No stitches in the skin, often eliminating the need for a buster collar
• Rest is usually only required for 2-3 days after the procedure
• A clearer and safer view for the surgeon
