Soft tissue surgery includes a wide range of procedures that address injuries, growth removals, and internal conditions—each essential for your pet’s comfort, health, and longevity.
What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery involves procedures that focus on the body’s soft tissues, excluding bones and joints. Common soft tissue surgeries include the removal of growths (such as lumps or tumors), wound repairs, and surgeries related to the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems. These procedures are often necessary to treat or manage various conditions, improve quality of life, or alleviate discomfort.
At Littleton West Animal Hospital, our experienced vets, both in-house and mobile, perform each surgery with precision, prioritizing safety, thoroughness, and comfort to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet. Before, during, and after every operation, we work to ensure your pet receives care specially tailored to their specific health needs, utilizing comprehensive diagnostic equipment and tests for the best possible outcome.
Common Types of Pet Soft Tissue Surgery
We strive to help our clients understand the various types of soft tissue surgeries we offer to help you feel confident in your pet’s care plan. Here are some common procedures our team performs:
Growth Removal
Pets can develop lumps or tumors that may be benign or cancerous. Surgical removal of these growths is often essential for diagnosing their nature and preventing potential complications. Early removal and biopsy can be life-saving, especially for malignancies that may spread.
Wound Repair and Trauma Surgery
Injuries from accidents or altercations can result in deep wounds requiring surgical intervention. Through careful wound repair and trauma surgery, our veterinarians help prevent infection and promote proper healing, allowing your pet to return to normal activity faster.
Gastrointestinal Surgery
For pets experiencing digestive issues like foreign body ingestion, gastrointestinal surgery may be required. This type of surgery removes obstructions, reduces pain, and prevents further complications. Our team ensures gentle handling and effective pain management to support a smooth recovery.
What to Expect During Pet Soft Tissue Surgery
Before your pet’s surgery at Littleton West Animal Hospital, we conduct a thorough pre-surgical examination, including blood work and imaging if necessary. This helps us assess your pet’s overall health, identify any risks, and plan for a successful procedure. We’ll discuss each step with you, addressing any questions to ensure you’re fully informed.
During surgery, our veterinarians and support staff follow strict protocols to maintain a sterile environment and monitor your pet’s vital signs. We use advanced anesthesia techniques tailored to your pet’s specific needs, ensuring both comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
Post-Operative Care and Recovery
After surgery, your pet’s comfort and healing are our top priorities. We provide clear instructions for at-home care, including guidance on wound care, medication administration, and activity restrictions to promote a smooth recovery. Our team is here to support you every step of the way, from follow-up visits to personalized care tips.
