General soft tissue surgery

Soft tissue surgery at the Albanova Veterinary Clinic, where suitable for the patient, is preferably performed with laparoscopy (a technique performed on the abdomen or pelvis using tiny incisions with the aid of a camera, also known as 'Keyhole surgery'). Whereas where deemed appropriate, traditional techniques may be employed to obtain the optimal results. Owing to the introduction of laparoscopy veterinary soft tissue surgery has taken an enormous leap forward in progress towards improving patient well-being and shortening postoperative recovery due to the techniques minimally invasive nature.

Such as:

    • Gastrointestinal system (gastrointestinal torsion, foreign bodies)
    • Respiratory system (laryngeal paralysis)
    • Urogenital system (bladder stones, perineal urethrostomy in Tom (male) cats)
    • Oncology often combined with reconstructive surgery
    • Vascular anomalies (portocaval shunts, persistence of the ductus arteriosus of the right aortic arch)
    • Removal of the adrenal glands (suprarenal glands)
    • Abdominal and perineal hernias
