Surgery (Soft Tissue Surgery)

surgery (soft tissue surgery)

Soft tissue surgery is a central part of veterinary care and comprises a variety of surgical procedures performed on the soft tissue of the body. This includes surgery on skin, muscles, internal organs, and other tissues that do not belong to bones or joints. These surgical procedures are critical for treating injuries, illnesses, and other health problems in animals. Soft tissue surgery can include routine procedures as well as complex operations. The most common procedures include castrations, tumor removal, and treatment of wounds or abscesses. In addition, we also offer specialized surgical procedures that are less common.

Surgery for dogs

Dogs often require soft tissue surgery for a variety of reasons. The most common procedures include:

  • Castration/sterilization: This routine surgery is performed to prevent unwanted reproduction and prevent health problems
  • Tumor removal: When removing benign or malignant tumours, early diagnosis is crucial for the prognosis
  • Foreign body removal: Dogs tend to swallow objects, which can lead to serious health problems.
  • hernia correction: Hernias can be painful and often require surgical intervention to repair.
Surgery for cats

Cats also require frequent soft-tissue surgery. The most common procedures include:

  • Castration/sterilization: This surgery is essential to prevent unwanted throws and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
  • Tumor removal: Tumors can be both benign and malignant; timely removal can be crucial. |
  • abscess treatment: Cats often develop abscesses, particularly after bite injuries. Treatment includes opening and emptying the abscess and cleaning the area
  • wound care: Injuries from fighting or accidents may require surgical care to prevent infections and promote healing
