The arthroscopy in veterinary medicine represents a key advance in the treatment of joint problems. At Benivet BenissaWe have experience in its application for animals with chronic pain, intermittent lameness or limited mobility that does not improve with conservative treatment.
This technique allows:
Access the joint without open surgery.
Accurate diagnosis of internal disturbances.
Perform joint lavage, fragment resection or ligament reconstruction.
Reduce surgical trauma, risk of infection and hospitalisation time.
In addition, arthroscopy can be complemented with postoperative treatments such as pain management in our veterinary pain unit and rehabilitation programmes.
If you notice that your dog or cat limps, avoids climbing stairs or is stiff when getting up, request a consultation. At Benivet we will assess whether arthroscopy is the most suitable option for your recovery.

We have many dogs with a series of issues- Anna has looked after hamish since he was a puppy and he loves her. She has helped solve his skin and food allergies , and more recently helped to diagnose an abscess and a specialist was brought in to remove the problematic tooth- as it was a complicated extraction. Also keep ontop of his epilepsy and medications.Constantin has also done leg surgeries in two of my dogs who have had broken cruciate ligaments. Treatment is ongoing with some complications but all the vets and staff are happy to help whenever we need- frequent questions and calls after hours , as well as emergency call outs ! They have been fantastic! Highly recommend! Thank you Vanessa Make-up23 Septiembre 2025Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
