At Bedford-Dianella Vet Centre our high level of veterinary expertise and our fully equipped surgical suite allows us to perform the vast majority of soft tissue surgical procedures in-house.
The more common of the vast range of soft tissue surgeries we perform include:
desexing
abdominal surgery
caesareans
lump and tumour removal
biopsies
wound stitch-ups
foreign body removal
bladder surgery (cystotomy)
hernia repair
splenectomy (spleen removal)
anal gland removal
reconstructive surgery
A very common soft tissue surgery is the removal of lumps.
Some lumps may require a biopsy prior to their removal to help us understand whether they are cancerous or not.
Once the lump or lumps have been removed in our surgery we usually recommend sending them to our external laboratory for analysis.
While most lumps are benign (not harmful), a minority are more serious (malignant).
In the case of malignant (cancerous) tumours, early removal and an accurate diagnosis is extremely important to maximise the chances of a good outcome.
Our vets are happy to discuss surgical options for your pet and we will always provide you with an estimate of the costs involved.
