Soft tissue surgery includes a variety of surgical treatments that do not involve the bone or joints.

Soft Tissue Procedures:  

• Abdominal exploratory surgery 

• Thoracic (chest) surgery 

• Tumor/mass removal 

• Hepatobiliary surgery (e.g. liver shunt, cholecystectomy [gall bladder removal], removal of liver tumors) 

• Urogenital surgery (e.g. cystotomy, perineal urethrostomy, ovariohysterectomy, cryptorchid neuter) 

• Gastrointestinal surgery (e.g. intestinal biopsy, resection/anastomosis, splenectomy) 

• Respiratory (brachycephalic syndrome, laryngeal paralysis) 

We will start by scheduling a referral appointment to evaluate your pet’s condition, including suitability for anesthesia. This time will be used to discuss surgical options and what to expect for the post-operative recovery.
