Soft tissue surgery

Soft tissue surgery is a broad term covering procedures involving the skin, fat, muscles, and internal organs. These surgeries may be recommended to treat a wide range of conditions affecting your pet's health, comfort, and quality of life.

Common soft tissue surgeries include lump removals, wound repairs, hernia repairs, gastrointestinal surgery, and some airway procedures. Your veterinary team will recommend the most appropriate procedure for your pet and will be happy to explain the options available.

Soft tissue surgery for pets can address issues such as wounds, masses, internal organ problems, and airway conditions. Common procedures include Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) surgery, total ear canal ablation and hernia repair amongst others. Our veterinary team will recommend the most appropriate procedure and are happy to answer any questions you might have.

Pet soft tissue surgery is performed under general anaesthesia. Your pet will be closely monitored throughout the procedure by our highly trained veterinary team. Depending on the procedure, specialist surgical instruments and techniques are used to ensure accuracy while minimising tissue trauma. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and successful outcome are our top priority, with pain management and infection control being key parts of the surgical process.

Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Most pets require a period of rest, pain management, and follow-up care. Our veterinary team will provide clear, personalised aftercare instructions to support healing and help your pet return to normal activity as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
