Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform soft tissue surgery for a number of medical reasons. This common surgery can be used for most concerns that are not joint or bone related.

Overview

Soft tissue surgery is any surgery not joint or bone related, and can include ear, nose and throat, cardio-thoracic, hepatic, gastrointestinal, urogenital, skin reconstructive and oncological surgeries. If soft tissue surgery is recommended for your pet, everything possible will be done to keep them safe and comfortable before, during, and after the surgery.

Why would my pet need soft tissue surgery?

Veterinary soft tissue surgery is recommended for a variety of reasons. The most common soft tissue surgeries for animals are spay procedures, neuter procedures, hernia repairs, and mass removals. More advanced soft tissue surgeries include cystotomy, abdominal exploratory surgery, and splenectomy.

Our highly skilled doctors place the utmost emphasis on pain management to ensure your pet is safe and comfortable throughout the surgical process. We believe that keeping our patients safe and comfortable before, during and after surgery is an important and essential component of your pet's care.
