Laparoscopic spaying of a dog is a modern, minimally invasive procedure in which, instead of a single large incision in the abdominal wall, we make two very small openings (approximately 0.5 cm). We use a specialized camera and instruments to visualize and remove the ovaries.

During routine spaying of healthy animals, the uterus is not removed; however, if we detect uterine pathology (such as early-stage pyometra or other conditions), our clinic also performs a laparoscopically assisted removal of the uterus through the same small incisions.

This is what the surgical field looks like during a laparoscopic neutering procedure at Vet – F Clinic:

Key advantages of laparoscopic spaying for dogs and cats performed at Vet-F Clinic:

– Minimal trauma – two small surgical incisions of 0.5 cm each.

– Less pain – rapid post-operative recovery (24–48 hours).

– Bloodless – extremely precise control of bleeding during the procedure.

– Sterility – high level of  sterility compared to standard spaying; no antibiotics used.

– Speed ​​– surgical time – 10 minutes.
