Hi Wendy!

Great question!!

Laparoscopic spays are often less invasive with typically a faster recovery. However these both depend on the surgeon.

They also tend to be more expensive.

Dr. Sara's neutering course in the HA! member area is a great overview of the procedure.

Also, one manufacturer of the laparoscopic equipment has a nice article about it:


Did you have any specific questions?
