• Wound reconstruction: Surgical repair of complex or extensive wounds, including skin grafting and flap surgeries

Orthopedic Surgeries 

Orthopedic surgeries involve bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Our surgical team is proficient in a range of orthopedic procedures, including (but not limited to) fracture repairs using advanced fixation techniques, TPLO for cranial cruciate ligament injuries, patellar luxation repair for dislocated kneecap, treatments for hip dysplasia and dislocation, corrective osteotomy for bone deformities, musculotendinous ligament repair or replacement to treat muscle and tendon injuries, and more.

Minimally Invasive Procedures 

Some of the surgical procedures our doctors perform use minimally invasive techniques that involve small incisions and specialized instruments. These procedures offer several benefits, including reduced trauma, faster recovery times, and less post-operative discomfort for your pet.

Laparoscopy is performed within the abdomen and includes procedures such as cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), gastropexy (stomach anchoring to prevent bloat), and biopsies. Arthroscopy is employed to address joint disorders, while thoracoscopy aids in the diagnosis and treatment of chest-related conditions. In addition, some bone fracture repairs can be performed utilizing minimally invasive approaches that involve the insertion of pins, screws, or external fixators through small incisions.
