 Cutting Edge Laser Surgery
The health of your pet is as important to us as it is to you. We are pleased to offer an exciting new option to traditional surgery. Laser surgery is an advanced treatment that is safe and comfortable. In many procedures the scalpel can be replaced with the laser to provide a much better alternative.
The Co2 Surgical Laser that is used in our clinic for procedures is the same laser that is used at Alamadea East Veterinary Hospital that can be viewed on Animal Planets tv shows, "Emergency Vets" and "E-Vet Interns."
Due to the many benefits of laser surgery we recommend that it be used on all procedures.
CLIENT THANK YOU LETTER
Dear Lake Lansing Road Animal Clinic,
I am lucky enough to have a dog who will turn 18 in two days. He had a nasty looking wart steadily growing below his ear and a smaller wart on the top of his head. I continued to worry that he would rub his face on the ground and cause the warts to bleed and create additional problems. At his age, traditional surgery was out of the question. When the laser option became available, Dr. Jones suggested that Tracy would be a good candidate since the laser surgery could be performed using a local anesthetic and I would be able to take Tracy home following the surgery. I was a bit nervous since I wasn’t sure Tracy would hold still long enough to perform the surgery and I was concerned about the degree of pain he would feel afterward. I had no reason to worry. I couldn’t believe how easy it was. Tracy never exhibited any sign of stress or discomfort, even after the local anesthetic wore off. Thank you once again for the wonderful care you’ve provided for my dog.
Sincerely, Karen Kligman
HOW DOES A LASER WORK?
We treat our patients with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser which is the most widely used type of laser in the medical field. CO2 lasers produce an invisible beam that vaporizes the water normally found in skin and other soft tissue. The laser beam can be precisely controlled so it can remove or cut a small portion of tissue at one time while leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected.
WHY CHOOSE LASER SURGERY?
Less Pain - Less anesthesia can be used causing less complication because the laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts". Pain after surgery is reduced.
Less Bleeding - The laser seals the small blood vessels during surgery.
Less swelling - Tearing, crushing and bruising are obsolete with the laser, because laser energy doesn't physically come in contact with the tissue.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS FOR MY PET?
Laser reduces the risk of infection - As the laser removes diseased tissue it also kills micro organisms and bacteria that causes infection.
Precision- The laser can remove unhealthy and diseased tissue without affecting the healthy tissue surrounding it.
Quick recovery - The healing process is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort. Laser procedures heal differently than traditional surgery resulting in less trauma to your pet. This may shorten the time spent in the veterinary hospital.
ARE LASERS NEW TECHNOLOGY?
No, laser technology has been around for more than 20 years. Medical doctors have helped thousands of people with the use of lasers.
