When you bring your pet to Care First Animal Hospital, you can expect attentive, thorough care for your patient as they go through minimally invasive surgery in Raleigh.

Whether your pet needs to be spayed or neutered, or have exploratory surgery, Care First Animal Hospital offers laparoscopic procedures with minimal downtime.
What Is A Veterinary Laparoscopy?
A laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows a veterinarian to perform various operations with tiny incisions. Also known as keyhole surgery, a laparoscopy doesn’t create a large incision—specialized instruments and a laparoscope are used to access the interior of the abdomen and pelvis.

Benefits Of Laparoscopy
- Minimal scarring. Laparoscopy involves only small incisions, leaving minimal scarring behind.
- Faster recovery. Pets undergoing laparoscopic procedures typically experience faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. Your pet will likely be able to return to their normal activities in a shorter period of time.
- Less pain. Small incisions involve less tissue than traditional surgeries. This means your pet will need fewer pain medications and have a more comfortable recovery period.
