Soft tissue surgery
What is soft tissue surgery?
Surgery relating to structures other than bone or nervous system are typically grouped together as soft tissue surgeries. If you are seeking specialised care, remember that you need to get a referral from your vet.
These procedures are diverse, challenging and often require the experience of specialist vet surgeons and specialised equipment. Our referral animal hospital is superbly equipped with state of the art equipment and operating theatres.
Outstanding infection control protocols are in place to minimise the risk of surgical site infection. Our surgical service is enhanced by the latest technologies provided by veterinary imaging specialists. Computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), fluoroscopy, ultrasonography and digital radiography (DR) are all available on-site. Many soft tissue cases can benefit from a consultative and collaborative approach between our surgical and veterinary internal medicine teams. The input from both departments ensures optimal patient outcomes.
