Laser Surgery Consent Form

As part of our commitment to quality care, we are pleased to offer laser surgery as a safe and comfortable treatment for

your pet. We feel laser surgery provides the best possible care for your pet.

Benefits of laser surgery are:

Less Pain- nerve endings are sealed as the laser cuts so there will be reduced pain for your pet following surgery.

Less Bleeding-, small blood vessels are cauterized with the laser during surgery, greatly reducing blood loss.

Less Swelling- the laser energy does not crush, tear, or bruise the tissue because there is no physical contact.

Reduced Risk of Infection-The high heat of the laser energy kills bacteria and micro-organisms as it moves through

tissue.

Quicker Recovery-Your pet is likely to feel less discomfort after surgery, and return to normal activities sooner.

The surgery will be performed with carbon dioxide laser, which produces an invisible beam of light that can remove a

precise layer of tissue at one time, which replaces the traditional scalpel. The laser energy instantly vaporizes the water

found in tissues allowing it to cut, which causes no trauma to surrounding tissue. We can use laser surgery for declaws,

spays, neuters (canine), tumor removal, skin tags, cyst removal, and other procedures normally done with a scalpel.

I understand the laser surgery is an option and I have been advised of the advantages the procedure will offer.
