The monsoon season brings a much-needed refreshing change in the weather, with rain and calmness in the environment. Despite that, it also comes with challenges, especially for pet owners. From muddy paws to damp fur, your furry friend requires a little extra care, particularly in this season, to be healthy, happy, and comfortable.
Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) for pets are a set of procedures that use advanced techniques and equipment to minimize surgical trauma, pain and recovery time. These surgeries use small incisions and specialized tools to perform operations with less bleeding, lower risk of infection and less pain than traditional surgeries. We spoke to Dr Lalit Kenjale, Vet at Wiggles MyVet, to understand more about MIS and what options pet parent has in India for their pooch babies.
In India, there are several options available for pet owners seeking minimally invasive surgeries for their pets. These include:
This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to examine and treat the organs inside the abdomen of pets. A small incision is made and a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera attached to it) is inserted. This allows the surgeon to visualize the internal organs and perform the procedure with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to diagnose and treat joint problems in pets. A small incision is made near the joint and an arthroscope (a long, thin tube with a camera attached to it) is inserted. This allows the surgeon to visualize the joint and perform the procedure with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to examine and treat pets' digestive tracts. A flexible tube with a camera attached to it is inserted through the mouth or anus of the pet. This allows the surgeon to visualize the internal organs and perform the procedure with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to examine and treat the organs inside the chest cavity of pets. A small incision is made, and a thoracoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera attached to it) is inserted. This allows the surgeon to visualize the internal organs and perform the procedure with minimal trauma to the surrounding tissues.
This minimally invasive surgical technique is used to treat certain types of cancer in pets. It involves freezing the cancerous cells with liquid nitrogen, which destroys them without damaging the surrounding tissues.
In conclusion, minimally invasive surgeries for pets offer numerous benefits over traditional surgeries, including less pain, shorter recovery times, and fewer complications. Pet owners in India have several options available to them, including laparoscopy, arthroscopy, endoscopy, thoracoscopy, and cryosurgery. If you are considering a minimally invasive surgery for your pet, talk to your veterinarian to determine the best option for your pet's needs.
