Clermont Animal Hospital provides VetScalpel CO₂ laser surgery, an advanced, minimally invasive option for soft-tissue procedures in pets throughout Clermont County and the Greater Cincinnati area. This precision laser technology allows for highly controlled surgical treatment, often resulting in less bleeding, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
VetScalpel is a specialized veterinary CO₂ surgical laser designed specifically for animal patients. Unlike the traditional scalpel, the laser simultaneously cuts and cauterizes tissue, which helps minimize bleeding during surgery and can reduce postoperative inflammation.
This technology is particularly well suited to a wide range of surgeries, including sensitive airway procedures, soft palate resection, and other delicate soft-tissue surgeries that benefit from a gentler approach.
Dogs and cats that have a shortened facial structure, resulting in a flat or pushed-in face are known as brachycephalic breeds.
Brachycephalic breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, and English Bulldogs are prone to Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), a condition in which shortened nasal passages and other soft-tissue features restrict normal airflow. VetScalpel lasers can be used for corrective surgical procedures that improve breathing and comfort in affected pets.
