Minimally Invasive Care, Expertly Delivered
At HVS Connecticut, we provide minimally invasive surgical options that help reduce discomfort, lower complication risk, and support faster recoveries. Our surgeons use advanced tools, including laparoscopic, arthroscopic, and fluoroscopic equipment, to perform procedures through small, targeted incisions. This approach minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue and allows pets to heal more comfortably, with shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to normal activity.
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Surgery:
- Smaller incisions and reduced soft tissue trauma
- Less postoperative pain and swelling
- Faster return to normal activity
- Shorter hospitalization time
- Lower risk of infection or wound complications

Minimally Invasive and Interventional Procedures We Perform Include:
- Arthroscopy – A minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint conditions, including ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and joint instability (Treat shoulder and stifle OCD, fragmented medial coronoid disease (part of elbow dysplasia), diagnosing and treating medial shoulder instability, diagnosis of stable cranial cruciate ligament tears or meniscal injury, treatment of joint infection)
- Laparoscopy – Minimally invasive abdominal surgery for procedures such as ovariectomy (spay), gastropexy (stomach tacking), liver biopsies, laparoscopic assisted gastrointestinal biopsies, cryptorchid castration, and cholecystectomy
- Thoracoscopy – Thoracoscopic-assisted lung lobectomy (for tumor removal or lung biopsy), pericardial window, thoracic biopsy, chylothorax treatment
- Urinary surgery – Minimally invasive cystotomy (PCCL), laparoscopic renal (kidney) biopsy
- Fracture repair with Fluoroscopy – Real-time imaging guidance allows for precise internal fixation of fractures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues
- Subcutaneous Ureteral Bypass (SUB) – A specialized procedure used to restore urine flow in cats and dogs with ureteral obstructions, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery
- Stenting Procedures – Placement of stents to relieve obstructions and maintain normal flow in affected anatomical structures, supporting improved function and patient comfort (tracheal, urinary)
