Benefits of Laser Surgery
There are 3 major advantages of laser surgery when compared to traditional stainless steel surgical scalpels, which are decreased pain, decreased bleeding, improved tissue healing and decreased inflammation.
DECREASED Postoperative pain – decreased pain is accomplished when the laser seals the nerve endings as it cuts. Also the decreased pain involved with laser surgery may allow the surgeon to remove skin tumors using local anesthesia rather than having pets undergo general anesthesia. Also reduces bleeding, blood loss, reduced inflammation and reduced risk of surgical infection.
