We perform many types of soft tissue surgeries at our clinic. Soft tissue surgeries are those that are not associated with bone. Common soft tissue surgeries performed at our hospital include removal of gastrointestinal foreign bodies, bladder stone removal, eye surgery, laceration/wound repair, and mass removals.
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.
