Soft Tissue Surgery:

Soft tissue surgeries are common procedures performed to treat a variety of conditions that affect the soft tissues of cats and dogs. These types of surgeries typically involve the removal of abnormal or damaged tissue, the repair of damaged or injured tissue, or the reconstruction of a particular structure that has been damaged or lost. Some of the most common soft tissue surgeries that we perform include:

1) Mass or tumor removal: Soft tissue surgery is often required to remove tumors or masses found in or under the skin or other soft tissue. The removal of a mass may also require reconstructive surgery.

2) Abdominal Surgery: We may perform abdominal surgeries for a variety of reasons, such as removing foreign materials from the stomach or intestines, removing masses, or removing bladder stones.

3) Wound repair: Soft tissue surgery is often required to repair deep wounds or lacerations, particularly if they involve delicate internal structures.

4) Eye surgery: Soft tissue surgery of the eye is often done for eyelid repair, entropion (an inward rolling eyelid), and cherry eye (prolapsed gland of nictitating membrane). In some cases it is better to remove the eye altogether.

There are several benefits of soft tissue surgery in animals. Firstly, it can help to improve the overall health and quality of life of pets by correcting or treating the underlying condition. Soft tissue surgery can also help reduce the potential for complications or the development of more serious medical conditions down the line. In many cases, soft tissue surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing pets to return home and recover in familiar surroundings. Ultimately, the goal of soft tissue surgery is to restore or improve your pet's physical function and help ensure they live a happy, healthy life.
