Pioneering Pet Care: Modern Vet Performs First Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery in the Middle East
Modern Vet, a veterinary hospital in Dubai, has achieved a historic milestone by performing the first minimally invasive cardiac surgery on a pet in the Middle East. The procedure, which regulates the mitral valve, is a major breakthrough for veterinary medicine in the region. This new, less invasive technique offers a significant improvement over traditional open-heart surgery, which involves large incisions and a higher risk of complications.
The New Surgical Technique
The senior veterinary surgeons at Modern Vet developed a technique that uses keyholes and specialized instruments guided by high-definition imaging. This method minimizes tissue damage, reduces the risk of complications, and allows pets to recover more quickly. The successful surgery required a team of board-certified veterinarians specializing in both cardiology and surgery, and positions Modern Vet at the forefront of specialized cardiac care for animals.
Dubai’s Growing Reputation in Veterinary Innovation
This innovative procedure not only demonstrates Modern Vet’s commitment to adopting the latest medical technology but also reinforces Dubai’s reputation as a leader in veterinary innovation. With such advanced treatments now available locally, pet owners in the region no longer have to travel abroad to seek specialized care for their animals.
