Laparoscopy Spay

  • Unlike conventional open surgical spays, which involve removing both the ovaries and uterus (ovariohysterectomy), Dr. Pedraza's laparoscopic approach focuses solely on removing the ovaries (ovariectomy). This streamlined procedure is quicker, less invasive, and significantly less painful for our furry companions.

    During the laparoscopic spay, Dr. Pedraza employs advanced camera technology to meticulously examine organs such as the liver, spleen, bladder, kidneys, and small intestines, ensuring optimal function and well-being. By delicately cutting and cauterizing the ovarian ligament, he minimizes bleeding and discomfort, without placing any tension on the uterus.

    One of the remarkable benefits of Dr. Pedraza's laparoscopic spays is the accelerated recovery time. While traditional spays often require strict activity restriction for up to two weeks, Dr. Pedraza recommends only 2-3 days of limited activity following a laparoscopic procedure. This means less disruption to your pet's routine and a quicker return to their happy, active selves.

  • Dr. Pedraza utilizes a special camera during laparoscopic spays to examine organs like the liver, spleen, bladder, kidneys, and small intestines, ensuring optimal function. Unlike traditional spays requiring 14 days of activity restriction, his laparoscopic approach recommends only 2-3 days, promoting a faster recovery for your pet.

    Discover the advantages of laparoscopic surgery under the expert care of Dr. Pedraza. With incisions as tiny as 1/4 to 1/2 inches, this minimally invasive approach minimizes scarring while offering precise surgical cuts, resulting in reduced post-operative pain by up to 65%.

    This technique not only ensures a more comfortable recovery for your pet but also lowers the risk of infection compared to traditional methods. Additionally, the shorter recovery time means your furry friend can return to their normal activities faster, which is especially crucial for very active or larger breeds. With Dr. Pedraza's expertise and innovative approach, your pet receives exceptional care for a smoother surgical experience and a quicker return to health and happiness.

  • Experience a quicker recovery time with laparoscopic surgery performed by Dr. Pedraza, typically just 3-5 days compared to the 14 days required for traditional spays. Unlike traditional procedures, which involve large incisions leading to discomfort, laparoscopy offers smaller incisions, resulting in reduced pain and faster return to normal activity. Trust Dr. Pedraza's expertise for a smoother, more comfortable experience for your furry companion, ensuring they can get back to being their lively selves in no time.

Laparoscopy Cryptorchid Neuter

  • Cryptorchidism, a condition where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum, presents a challenge for traditional surgical methods. Typically, the undescended testicle resides in the abdomen or inguinal canal, making detection without specialized equipment challenging and necessitating a large incision for surgery.

    Fortunately, laparoscopy offers an elegant solution for locating these hidden testicles. With its superior visualization and magnification of internal organs, laparoscopy enables precise identification of undescended testicles without the need for extensive incisions. This minimally invasive approach not only streamlines the procedure but also enhances safety and promotes quicker recovery for our furry companions. Trust us to utilize the latest advancements in veterinary medicine to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet's health and well-being.

  • Neutering and addressing retained testicles due to cryptorchidism are vital procedures that we recommend without delay. Our approach involves laparoscopy, a cutting-edge technique that ensures precision and efficiency while minimizing discomfort for your pet.

    Using a scope or camera inserted through a tiny 1/3-inch incision into the abdominal cavity, we're able to locate and remove the retained testicle(s) with remarkable accuracy. Another 1/3-inch instrument port is established to manipulate the testicle using specialized laparoscopic instruments.

    The advantages of laparoscopic cryptorchid surgery are numerous. Notably, the incisions are significantly smaller compared to traditional exploratory surgery, promoting faster healing and reducing post-operative discomfort. Additionally, the presence of a camera in the abdomen allows us to thoroughly examine all major organs, ensuring comprehensive care for your pet's well-being.

    Furthermore, the laparoscopic approach is less invasive overall, leading to quicker recovery times and minimizing potential risks associated with prolonged sedation. Trust in our expertise and dedication to provide your furry friend with the highest standard of care using advanced laparoscopic techniques.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.

Laparoscopy Biopsy

  • A laparoscopic biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at obtaining small tissue samples from internal organs. These samples are then meticulously evaluated under a microscope and subjected to various tests to detect signs of damage or disease.

    Biopsies play a crucial role in the diagnostic process, as they help confirm a diagnosis, assess the severity of the condition, and guide healthcare providers in determining the most effective treatment options. By providing valuable insights into the underlying pathology, biopsies enable tailored and targeted approaches to managing damage or disease.

    At the heart of this procedure is the commitment to delivering precise and personalized care, ensuring the best possible outcomes for patients. With the information gleaned from biopsies, healthcare providers can make informed decisions, offering patients the most appropriate and effective treatment strategies. Trust in the expertise of our team to perform laparoscopic biopsies with skill and compassion, empowering you to take proactive steps towards optimal health and well-being.

  • Your veterinarian may recommend a biopsy for your pet under several circumstances:

    Abnormal test results: If your pet's diagnostic tests reveal irregularities, such as abnormal liver function or other concerning markers, a biopsy may be advised to further investigate the underlying cause.

    Physical exam findings of abdominal distension (bloating) and/or jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes): These clinical signs can suggest potential issues with internal organs, including the liver or other vital structures, warranting closer examination through biopsy.

    Ultrasound findings of abnormal changes in your pet's internal organs: If ultrasound imaging detects unusual alterations in the appearance or structure of internal organs, such as the liver or other tissues, a biopsy may be necessary to obtain tissue samples for detailed analysis and diagnosis.

    Biopsies play a crucial role in veterinary medicine by providing valuable insights into the health and function of internal organs. Through careful examination of tissue samples under a microscope and additional testing, veterinarians can accurately diagnose conditions, assess severity, and formulate tailored treatment plans to address your pet's specific needs. Rest assured, your veterinary team is committed to conducting biopsies with expertise and compassion, prioritizing your pet's well-being throughout the diagnostic and treatment process.
