Services
Endoscopy
Report
At Springwell Veterinary Surgery we have a video endoscopic suite in which we can perform investigative and curative procedures. With an array of rigid and flexible telescopes we can "look within" any natural opening, or if necessary through surgical ports. We can then take samples for diagnosis, administer treatments locally and remove foreign bodies.
Keyhole Surgery
Report
Springwell Veterinary Surgery is unique locally, in being able to offer the option of performing Endoscopic "Keyhole" surgery. This is a minimally invasive alternative to many procedures traditionally performed by open surgery.
By performing procedures endoscopically our patients can benefit from all of the advantages that we see in our laparoscopic spays, including rapid recovery times, absence of pain, easy wound management and reduction in the use of perioperative antibiotics.Endoscopic surgery is performed with the use of video endoscopic telescopes and specially designed instrumentation.

Laparoscopic spaying
Report
We do not offer the latter procedure, because we do not see such large benefits as with the keyhole procedure. With this in mind, we have heavily discounted keyhole spaying to make it affordable. The cost is increased above the standard fee, currently by 119 + VAT to reflect the equipment costs.
Ovariectomy vs. Ovariohysterectomy (Removal of ovaries vs. removal of the ovaries and uterus) To maximize the aforementioned benefits, our preference is to perform the ovariectomy.There are no medical disadvantages to this procedure, although currently it is novel in the UK. Once these medications have taken effect, a vet and nurse will administer the anaesthetic injection into the leg vein.

We have three dedicated operating theatres for carrying out surgery. Heat mats and deep bedding are used to keep animals warm during procedures, and appropriate levels of pain relief are administered where necessary.
Repeat Prescriptions
Report
For the provision of prescription only medicines, we have to fulfil a legal obligation to monitor cases requiring these. Intervals between examinations are decided on a case by case basis according to the condition being treated, the medicine used and the stability of the condition. In no cases may this period exceed one year.
