Laser surgery is practiced today in more and more equine hospitals for it’s unique advantages over conventional surgery.

Laser surgery is also incorporated with endoscopy and allows to reach inaccessible areas as the nasal cavities and the nasopharynx.

The use of laser allows better healing, faster recovery and a less painful procedure inra-operatively and in the post-operative period.

Laser surgery ablates (vaporize) tissue into smoke and steam. There is less bleeding inra-operatively and post-operatively due to the heat produced by the laser beam.

Laser technology was especially warranted for this 30 yo mare that has been suffering form  bilateral tumor growths in the frontal nasal cavities which have been obstructing air flow and causing abnormal turbulence in the nasal cavity, not allowing her to ventilate her lungs adequately.

This procedure has earned her more precious time with her owner.
