Advanced Pet Laser Surgery in Mundelein, IL: Precision and Healing

At Vernon Hills Animal Hospital, we continually seek to offer the most advanced, least invasive treatments available for our patients in Mundelein, IL. That’s why we utilize Pet Laser Surgery—specifically the CO2 laser—which represents a major step forward from traditional surgical methods. This sophisticated technology allows our veterinary surgeons to perform precise incisions with minimized pain and recovery time.

Laser surgery is particularly beneficial for delicate procedures, providing an authoritative and high-tech option for pet owners seeking the best possible outcomes for their companions.

How CO2 Laser Surgery for Pets Works

A surgical laser uses a highly focused beam of light to precisely cut and remove tissue. This method offers several distinct advantages that make it a form of minimally invasive vet surgery:

Reduced Bleeding: The laser beam cauterizes small blood vessels as it cuts, resulting in a drier surgical field and reducing blood loss.
Less Pain: The laser seals nerve endings, resulting in less pain immediately after the procedure and potentially a less strenuous recovery.
Reduced Swelling: The laser beam seals lymphatic vessels, minimizing post-operative swelling.
Faster Recovery: With less trauma, bleeding, and swelling, pets generally recover and return to normal activity faster than with traditional scalpel surgery.

Ideal Procedures for Laser Incision Surgery

We use the laser for many of the procedures covered by our General Pet Surgery services, including:

Mass and Tumor Removals: Provides highly precise excision with less trauma to surrounding healthy tissue.
Entropion and Eyelid Procedures: Ideal for delicate areas due to its precision.
Laceration and Wound Repair Prep: Used to debride and sterilize the area before suturing.
Spay/Neuter and Declaws: Often resulting in a smoother recovery for the pet.
