Minimally Invasive Procedures
Fewer complications, less pain and faster
recovery times.
Minimally Invasive Procedures (MIP) have revolutionized medical
science and become one of the most rapidly growing areas of treatment in both
human and animal healthcare.
The
Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) has been offering minimally invasive
laparoscopic procedures such as liver and kidney biopsy since 2000.

Today, we offer numerous less painful options for companion
animals to treat tracheal collapse, bladder stones and urinary obstructions,
gall bladder disease and a variety of abdominal, lung and chest conditions.
OVC offers innovative treatments with better
outcomes while training the next generation of surgical leaders.
Only very highly trained professionals can perform MIP
procedures. At OVC specialists offer expertise in these advanced techniques and
increased access to leading edge treatment for our referring veterinarians and
their patients.
