VetScalpel

Laser surgery is an advanced surgical technique that uses laser light in lieu of a traditional scalpel to make cleaner, more precise cuts. There are a number of advantages to choosing laser over conventional surgery, including reduced bleeding, less pain, lower risk of infection and quicker recovery periods. 

At Fayetteville Veterinary Hospital, we utilize the VetScalpel surgical laser, a cutting-edge tool that enables us to streamline and optimize virtually any surgical procedure, from general surgery to biopsies and more. We are proud to be the only practice in a five-county radius to offer soft tissue laser surgeries!

The VetScalpel is particularly effective for procedures that address the following: 

• Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS), including brachycephalic airway surgeries and elongated soft palate resection. 

BOAS is a condition that is prevalent in breeds like French Bulldogs, Pugs, and English Bulldogs. Using the VetScalpel laser for these corrective procedures is less invasive and offers a much easier recovery process.
