Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery

This service includes conventional, as well as minimal-invasive procedure,s using the latest equipment including a complete range of surgical staples. In-house dermatology, medical and oncology cases may also be referred to the surgical service for adjunct treatment.

Ancillary services of pathology and radiology complement our unit with intra-operative frozen tissue sections and intra-operative ultrasonography and contrast radiography on a needs basis. We are keen to provide an ongoing CPD service to our referring clinicians by way of telephone advice about cases or procedures, ‘seeing practice’ on their specific referrals and through didactic information sessions.

A current emphasis of the surgical team at the Animal Health Trust is the use of minimally invasive surgical techniques, and we are pleased to be able to offer this service, which will also include neutering via laparoscopy for any clients that would prefer this for their animals.
