Laser Surgery
Pioneer Animal Hospital offers
laser surgery as a progressive new option for our clients who want the
safest and least painful surgical option for their pets.
Laser surgery has been widely accepted as a higher standard of care in
human medicine for over 30 years. It presents a host of benefits over
traditional surgery, and in many procedures, the laser can and does
replace the scalpel entirely.
Pioneer Animal Hospital is proud to be the first laser surgery center in the Leavenworth County area (offered initially in 2006).
Dr. Wood has over 8 years experience in veterinary laser surgery.

What are the benefits of laser surgery?
- Less Pain: The laser seals nerve endings as it "cuts." As a result, your pet will experience less pain and be more comfortable after surgery.
- Less Bleeding: The Laser seals small blood vessels during surgery. Because there is less bleeding, surgery is often completed more quickly, reducing the amount of time you pet will be under anesthesia. This further reduced potential complications.
- Reduced Swelling & Infection: Physical contact between the laser and the surgical region is never established, thus eliminating the crushing, tearing and bruising of tissue associated with traditional surgical methods. Additionally, the CO2 laser energy acts as an antimicrobial/antibacterial agent by producing high temperatures, effectively eliminating microorganisms.
- Quick return to normal activities: Healing is rapid and there is less post-operative discomfort and a better course of healing.
Pioneer Animal Hospital uses a
15-watt CO2 laser for nearly all of our surgical procedures.
