Soft Tissue Surgery – When Surgery Is Inevitable
Soft tissue surgery includes a wide range of procedures on internal organs, skin, subcutaneous structures, mammary glands, and the digestive tract. These surgeries are often urgent, life-saving, or necessary to improve the quality of your pet’s life.
Our team at the veterinary clinic has extensive experience performing such procedures, with safe anesthesia, monitoring, and careful postoperative care.
Spleen Removal (Splenectomy)
Splenectomy, commonly known as spleen removal, is most often performed in dogs when the spleen is affected by tumors, ruptures, or enlargement that threatens other organs. The spleen is not essential for life, so removing it can result in full recovery, provided the intervention is timely.
Removal of Foreign Bodies and Untangling Intestinal Complications
Dogs and cats, especially young ones, often swallow foreign objects — pebbles, toys, fabric, or bones — which can cause obstruction of the stomach or intestines.
In such cases, emergency surgery is needed to prevent intestinal rupture and life-threatening complications. We also address intestinal complications (volvulus, intussusception) that require precise and swift surgical intervention.
Tumors of Internal Organs
Tumors in the liver, spleen, kidneys, or uterus often go unnoticed until they grow or cause symptoms such as loss of appetite, pain, and weakness.
Depending on their location, surgical removal of tumors can significantly prolong your pet’s life and improve daily comfort. We always take an individual approach — with prior diagnostic examinations and a detailed surgical plan.
Skin Tumors
Skin changes such as growths, nodules, and ulcers can be benign but also malignant tumors requiring timely removal.
Any change you notice on your pet’s body should be checked — because earlier intervention improves prognosis. After removal, samples can be sent for histopathology for an accurate diagnosis.
Mammary Gland Tumors
In female animals, especially those not sterilized, mammary gland tumors are common. Some changes are benign, but many may be malignant.
Tumor removal is performed with safe margins, and in certain cases, removal of multiple mammary lines is recommended. The earlier the intervention, the better the chances for a successful outcome.
When to Act and Why Not to Wait?
In all these cases, timely diagnosis and surgical treatment can mean the difference between life and death.
Our team is here to guide you through the process — from diagnosis to recovery, with full understanding, expertise, and care for every patient.
If your pet shows any change, pain, swelling, or loss of appetite — don’t wait.
In many cases, surgery is the only and best option.
