We offer a “One-Port” high-tech, minimally-invasive surgical option for all our clients. We have invested in the latest High Definition equipment imported from America. Our vets have undergone thorough training, and we are now a very experienced team, performing these keyhole procedures regularly for over 10 years.
The vets who trained us have done more than 5,000 spays this way without any serious complications! There are many different techniques “out there.” We have selected this one based on this vast body of experience – it is exceptionally safe! With only one tiny wound, it offers the very best available option for the procedure. Craig Reilly – BVM&S CertSAM MRCVS
Advantages of Keyhole Spay:
- Less post-op pain – proven!
- Really small wound – unimaginably small!
- Usually, no need to wear the dreaded “Cone of Shame”!
- Full recovery to lead exercise in as little as ONE DAY!
Your girl will thank you for choosing this option!
We strongly recommend the keyhole option now for all our routine bitch spays. For years now, our team have been very proud of our traditional bitch spay procedure. We believe that we have provided a very refined version of the traditional spay, with superb pain relief, minimal wound size, and no skin sutures. We are still proud of these ops, and will continue to offer them. But……this keyhole technique is a real advance!
Keyhole spays allow us to perform either a full ovariohysterectomy (removing both ovaries and the entire womb), or just to remove the ovaries themselves (called an ovariectomy) through the tiniest wound imaginable!! The post-op discomfort is just so much less.
The intra-operative time for either traditional or keyhole spay is quite similar. In the larger, or overweight bitch, the keyhole op is likely to be a shorter and safer operation, with the reward of less pain, smaller wounds, and rapid return to normal exercise.
Please contact us to us if you have any questions, or if you would like to book your girl in! We can operate any weekday.
The choice of ovariectomy or full ovariohysterectomy is discussed on a case-by-case basis. We, and more and more forward-thinking vets, are recommending ovariectomy, unless there is uterine pathology already present (e.g., in an older bitch). Most often, it will be an ovariectomy we will recommend. There have never been any reports of womb tumours arising in bitches who have had early ovariectomy.
We believe “keyhole” or “minimally invasive” surgeries are the way of the future: we are proud to be one of the very few clinics in Northern Ireland offering these sorts of operations.
