May 2020 - Laparoscopy now available at Tuggerah

We have offered laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures (key-hole surgery) for some time at SASH Sydney and can now offer the same service to our referring vets on the Central Coast. Laparoscopy can decrease post-operative pain and recovery times and should be considered for the following routine procedures:

Ovariectomy or ovariohysterectomy
Prophylactic gastropexy, often combined with ovariohysterectomy
Cryptorchidectomy
Hepatic, renal, splenic and pancreatic biopsies, and some tumourbiopsies
Laparoscopic assisted cystotomy, enterotomy, feeding tube placement

Dependent on case selection, the following laparoscopic procedures may also be possible:

Cholecystectomy
Adrenalectomy

Thoracoscopy offers great advantages over thoracotomy and may be feasible for the following procedures:

Lung and pleural biopsies
Partial and complete lung lobe resection
Pericardialwindow and subtotal strip

Please contact us for more information on this service
