In Concerns to Spaying, What are the disadvantages of Laser Surgery

[John Campbell]

Elsa's doctor wants to preform Laser Surgery on Elsa when she goes into surgery to be Spayed. He says it is a better because it is less painful and leaves less of a scar, however, I have noted that anytime you have advantages, you also have disadvantages... So far I can only find one, and that is, it is more expensive, and that part I do not care about, I just want what is best for Elsa. I do not want to see a big scar, but I would rather have a scar vs what could happen as a result of the laser...

My basic question is: Other than higher cost, what are the Disadvantages of Laser Surgery in concerns to Spaying?

Thanks in advance.

None that I know of...Cinny had laser and the healing time was very quick, plus there is minimal blood loss.

I've never heard of any true disadvantages except the same with all surgeries-- the very minimal chance of something very bad happening. I'd go with it versus a traditional spay myself.

Coming from 2 authorities, it seems the only disadvantage is the cost.... And cost is not going to come into the picture when Elsa is concerned... I wanted to make sure I was getting the whole story, and any disadvantages would certainly be known here... Thanks both of you for such quick replies.

I think the only disadvantage I've read is the cost... and the lack of availability in some areas. So I'd do it...and you can report back to us

Your veterinarian is the best person to describe to you the risks as well as the benefits of laser surgery, and in fact it is his responsibility to do so. If he hasn't I would be sure to ask him point blank before undergoing any kind of procedure. From what I have heard, laser surgery is safer than traditional surgery, but there are always risks to any procedure, and as a pet owner you have the right to know what they are.

Sounds like a winner, Will do... Hmm.. Wonder if he would let me post a GoPro in there.... LOL.... 2nd thoughts, I am not sure I would want to watch it...

John! Let her have her dignity. NO GoPro.

I was joking... But if I asked, they probably would not be surprised.... They know her carrier as it is the only one with a GOPRO mount.

And I was just giving you a bad time.
