Arthroscopic Procedures

05/20/2010

Windsor Animal Hospital now offers minimally invasive arthroscopic joint evaluation and surgery. As many of you know from your own knee and shoulder surgery experiences, arthroscopic surgery has greatly advanced the standard of care in human medicine.  Minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery results in less pain, faster recoveries and more accurate visualization and treatment of joint tissues compared to traditional open surgery.  Dr. Fetherston is pleased to add arthroscopic joint surgery to the growing list of advanced orthopedic therapies and surgeries offered to clients and their loving pets at the Windsor Animal Hospital.  
Dr. Sloan and Dr. Fetherston have been performing laparoscopic surgeries and biopsies for the past 4 years.  Laparoscopic diagnostics and surgery provide better visualization and documentation of the organs.  It is also less invasive and less painful for the patient compared to older open-abdomen surgical techniques. Please ask us about laparoscopic options for elective spay and gastropexy surgeries.
