Minimally invasive surgery in dogs and cats

Abstract

Laparoscopic surgery has benefited from many technical advances over recent years, achieving better
results and reducing surgical complications. The wide range of equipment and instruments available allow
for the performance of surgical procedures without the large incisions that characterize conventional
surgery. Laparoscopic surgery constitutes a growing area of expertise in clinical practice, where the main
beneficiaries are the patients. The most common procedures such as organ biopsy or ovariectomy are
described.
