We have offer Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery in Dogs and Cats since 2006. The "Love" Spay (laparoscopic-ovariectomy) is the safest and less painful way of altering your female dog or cat. The laparoscopic Assisted Gastropexy is the best way of preventing the deadly 'bloating(Gastric Dilation Volvulus) in giant dog breeds. Abdominal laparoscopic exploration offers the best alternative when exploration and biopsy of abdominal organs is needed.
Arthroscopic surgery is extremely effective examining inside the joints and also correcting problems while avoiding painful recoveries from very large incisions. A study published in the 2005 Journal of the Veterinary Medical Association concluded laparoscopic spays caused less surgical stress and up to 65% less postoperative pain than a traditional surgical spay.
We have performed over one thousand laparoscopic procedures safely with less pain and a faster post operative recovery (your pet will return to normal activity sooner than usual) The risk for the patient is minimal since the total surgery time is reduced.

We use the new technology of ultrasonic surgery (Harmonic Scalpel is a trademark of ETHICON) in all our surgical procedures.
In recent years veterinarians have offered minimally invasive ovariectomy and ovariohysterectomy with the use of electrosurgical units.
We are the first hospital in Southern California performing the entire procedure laparoscopically using the same ultrasonic devices used by surgeons in humans.
The procedure is performed completely inside of the patient.
No sutures are left inside of the abdomen and the procedure takes 5-15 minutes depending of the size of the patient.

Very small incisions (5 mm) are made on the patient to introduce a small scope connected to a camera.
The surgeon uses small instruments to perform the surgical procedure while visualizing the patients abdomen or thorax.
This eliminates mistakes due to poor visibility of the operating field.
With the help of the Ultrasonic Surgical Devise the bleeding is reduced to zero.
Only a few veterinary hospitals in USA offer this new modality of minimally invasive surgery.

Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in the knee is the most Orthopedic Injury in the Dog.
During weight bearing, the femur slides down the tibial plateau.
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) acts against this downward force.
Dogs having a more steep slope are more predisposed to rupturing the ACL.
A more perpendicular angle between the tibial plateau and the patellar tendon will result in a more stable joint.
The TTA corrects for this slope by adjusting the angle between the tibial plateau and the patellar ligament.
