Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. These surgeries can provide many benefits to pets.

Probably the most common soft tissue surgery performed on pets is the removal of masses, or lumps. Most of these masses, once removed and tested, are found to be benign (nonharmful); however, occasionally they are more serious. Early removal and accurate diagnosis of a lump is necessary to improve the outcome in your pet if the mass is cancerous.

Other soft tissue surgeries include exploratory surgery and gastronomy/enterotomy (incisions made into the stomach or intestine) to remove foreign bodies, cystotomy (bladder surgery to remove bladder stones), and many others.
