What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery refers to any surgical procedures involving the body's soft tissues, such as the skin, muscles, and internal organs, rather than the bones and joints. Whether it's removing a mass, repairing a hernia, or treating a life-threatening infection, we strive to provide prompt treatment to improve your pet's prognosis and overall quality of life.
At Seneca Veterinary Clinic, we offer a wide range of soft tissue surgery procedures, including but not limited to the following:
Spay and Neuter
Spaying or neutering is one of the most important things you can do for your pet's long-term health. These routine surgeries prevent unwanted litters, help reduce the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases, and minimize unwanted behaviors like aggression, spraying, yowling, or roaming.
Mass and Tumor Removal
If you notice an unusual lump or bump on your pet, we may recommend a mass removal procedure. Laboratory analysis of the growth can help us determine if further treatment is needed.
Foreign Body Removal
Pets are naturally curious creatures and are notorious for swallowing small objects that can cause serious blockages in the stomach or intestines. Emergency surgery to remove an obstruction can be a life-saving procedure for your furry friend.
Hernia Repair
A hernia is a defect in the body wall that allows organs or tissue to slip through and protrude, posing a risk to your pet's health. We surgically repair hernias, relieving pain and preventing potential complications.
Pyometra Surgery
Pyometra is a serious uterine infection that can quickly become life-threatening in unspayed female pets. Emergency surgery involves removing the infected uterus to help save your pet's life.
Cystotomy
Bladder stones or blockages can be painful and make it difficult to urinate. Our team can perform a cystotomy to remove the stones or blockages, providing your pet with prompt relief.
Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV) Surgery
GDV, or a twisted stomach, is a critical emergency for pets. Our team is ready to perform this life-saving surgery immediately, untwisting the stomach to correct this potentially fatal condition.
Wound and Laceration Repair
From minor cuts to more serious wounds resulting from bites or trauma, we're here to provide immediate care. We'll thoroughly clean and carefully close the injury to promote a fast recovery and reduce the risk of infection.
Entropion Repair
This surgery corrects a condition where your pet's eyelids roll inward. By fixing the issue, we prevent their eyelashes from rubbing against the cornea, which can cause irritation and serious injury.
Cherry Eye Surgery
"Cherry eye" is when a gland in your pet's third eyelid becomes prolapsed. We can perform surgery to restore the gland to its proper position, protecting your pet's tear production and eye health.
Limb Amputation
When a limb is too badly injured, infected, or affected by cancer to be saved, amputation may be the best option. Our goal is always to keep your pet comfortable and mobile after surgery.
Enucleation
Severe eye disease or trauma can sometimes necessitate the removal of an eye, a procedure known as enucleation. This surgery can provide relief from pain and improve your pet's quality of life.
Splenectomy
A splenectomy involves surgically removing the spleen. This procedure is often necessary when the organ is damaged, enlarged, affected by tumors, or even ruptured, to prevent internal bleeding and other serious complications.
