Laser Surgery

The Animal hospital of Huntington Beach is committed to providing state-of-the-art veterinary care. We are one of the first facilities in our area to offer the benefits of laser surgery for your pet. The Carbon Dioxide Laser produces an invisible beam of light, which heats and vaporizes tissue almost instantaneously without any physical contact. This is done so precisely that the normal surrounding tissues are hardly affected. Surgery for your pet is made gentler with laser surgery.

 

Since there is no physical contact with organs or tissue, the laser does not cause tearing, crushing or bruising. As it cuts, it is able to seal nerve endings and small blood vessels.

The combined effect of laser surgery provides the following benefits:

 

• less pain

• less bleeding

• less swelling

• faster recovery

 

The laser is ideal for a wide variety of surgical procedures for dogs, cats, birds and other exotic pets. Laser surgery is commonly used in soft-tissue surgical procedures. Our veterinarians will be able to tell you if your pet's procedure can benefit from laser surgery.

 

Common procedures that use laser surgery include:

     

• Spays/Neuters

• Tumor Removals

• Polyp or other growth removal

• Cat Declaws

 

 

One of the most remarkable advantages of laser surgery is the ability to perform a laser declaw procedure. This new technique is much more humane than the traditional method of declawing as it dramatically decreases the pain. Cats return to normal activity soon after the procedure.

In many procedures, the laser can replace the scalpel and provide a better alternative to traditional surgery. The veterinarian can tell you if your pet's procedure can be performed with a laser.
