​Veterinary medicine is evolving quickly. One of the clearest signals of progress is the adoption of Minimally invasive procedures (MIP) — using endoscopy and laparoscopy instead of traditional open methods.

​

Better Medicine for Patients

In a controlled clinical trial, dogs undergoing laparoscopic-assisted ovariohysterectomy (LAOHE) experienced significantly lower pain scores at all time points compared to open surgery (Devitt et al., JAVMA, 2005). None of the dogs in the MIP group required additional morphine, while 9 of 10 open-surgery dogs did. Cortisol and glucose stress markers also normalized much faster in MIP dogs.

​

The evidence is clear: MIP reduces pain, stress, and the need for pain medication.

​

Meeting Client Expectations

​

Owners notice these differences. In a 2022 survey, 92% of pet owners preferred laparoscopy when given the choice, citing less pain and quicker recovery (Buote et al., 2022).

​

Business and Workforce Benefits

​

Offering MIP differentiates clinics, helps retain revenue, and attracts veterinarians trained on modern techniques.
