We are all familiar with laser surgery and its uses in human medicine. Our pets can benefit from that same technology. Laser surgery utilizes an invisible beam of energy which vaporizes moisture in soft tissue. The laser beam seals nerve endings and blood vessels as it cuts, allowing for less pain and bleeding. Some surgeries would be difficult or impossible to do without laser. For example, many bulldogs and pugs have an excessively long soft palate which causes snoring and difficulty breathing. Decreased stamina and even a shortened life span are common consequences. Laser surgery allows for correction of this abnormality with minimal swelling and blood loss as compared with traditional surgery. |
