Pet Surgery in Andover, MN
Laser Surgery
Our team is highly skilled and experienced in performing a wide variety of pet surgeries using modern techniques, cutting-edge equipment, and always adhering to the strictest standards of safety and care.
Here at Andover Animal Hospital, we perform state-of-the-art laser surgery.
Laser surgery is an alternative to the scalpel. The laser produces a beam of light that cauterizes as it cuts, reducing the bleeding. This helps the surgeon more easily visualize the surgery site, thus speeding up the procedure time. This is beneficial for your pet because it means less time under anesthesia.
There are many benefits to using the laser, including:
- Less pain
- Less swelling
- Less tissue trauma
- Decreased chance of infection
Ask your veterinarian if the laser can be used for your pet’s procedure.
Soft Tissue Surgery
We are able to perform a wide variety of soft tissue surgeries here at Andover Animal Hospital. Spay and neuter procedures are the most commonly performed soft tissue surgeries. These are important for population control as well as to prevent many unwanted illnesses and cancers. Surgery can help remove foreign material from the stomach, remove stones from the bladder, remove certain types of tumors, or fix other problems causing disease. In addition to treating certain illnesses, surgery can also be useful to diagnose diseases or cancer. We perform these surgeries every weekday in our hospital. All patients are monitored closely by a qualified technical team using top-of-the-line monitoring equipment.
