Advanced Surgical Procedures
We provide the gold standard in comprehensive surgical care for your animal companions at Wellesley-Natick Veterinary Hospital.
We take pride in being at the forefront of surgical technology at Wellesley-Natick Veterinary Hospital. We are well-versed in laparoscopic procedures and gastropexy.
Laparoscopy is used in soft tissue surgeries, and generally for abdominal surgery. It has many applications and is effective in many procedures: liver and other organ biopsies, gastropexies, bladder stone removal, spays, and many more.
A gastropexy is a surgical procedure used to prevent a condition known as bloat in large breed dogs. It can be done as a precautionary measure in a healthy dog predisposed to this condition or as part of the surgical management of GDV.
Throughout any surgery, your pet's vitals will be closely monitored. IV fluids will also be administered to ensure that organs are not harmed during your pet's surgery. After anesthesia, your pet should be just as perky and healthy (if not healthier!) than when they arrived at the hospital.
