Soft tissue surgery Soft tissue surgery encompasses any surgery not directly associated with bones or bony structures. This surgery takes many different forms, as there are many different soft tissues in the body. The type of surgery also varies with the intention of the procedure. It may be preventative (such as desexing surgery), curative (e.g. abscess surgery), informative (such as taking biopsy samples to find out exactly what a type of tissue is) or palliative (e.g. debulking a tumour to make an animal more comfortable). The actual procedures we perform at the Box Hill Veterinary Hospital include: desexing spay castration Caesarian section lumpectomy biopsy abscess surgery cat fight abscess grass seed abscess aural haematoma repair exploratory surgery oncology (tumour surgery) cryosurgery surgical tumour removal Since there are so many procedures, it is impractical to detail each one. Obviously, we would discuss any suggested procedure with you during the consultation period should your pet require surgery. We have, however, put together information about desexing for both dogs and cats in our petcare section.
