Surgery

Soft Tissue Surgery is a classification of surgery that includes surgery on all tissue except bones and cartilage. Some common examples of soft tissue surgery are castration (neutering) and ovariohysterectomy (spaying). Soft tissue surgery is also commonly employed to remove tumors of the skin and internal organs (surgical oncology). At Memorial-610 Hospital for Animals, we routinely perform soft tissue surgeries. In some cases, referral to a Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon is indicated. This helps us to provide the best possible care for your animal.

Orthopedic Surgery is surgery that is performed on the bones and cartilage of the body. Common examples of orthopedic surgery involve fixation of fractures, reconstruction of joints and specialized procedures such as total-hip replacement. At Memorial-610 Hospital for Animals, we also routinely perform orthopedic surgeries. In some cases, referral to a nearby Board Certified Veterinary Surgeon is indicated. This helps us to provide the best possible care for your animal.
