Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery

Surgery on eyes, ears, and other soft tissue areas.

At Polk Street Animal Hospital, our veterinarians have experience performing a number of soft tissue surgeries which can range from invasive abdominal surgeries to less invasive external procedures such as mass removals for biopsy. Soft tissue procedures are also helpful in medical situations such as the repair of traumatic injury, foreign body removal, the removing of diseased tissue, and exploratory surgery to help pinpoint the exact cause of an illness. Our soft tissue surgeries include:

• Aural Hematoma
• Brachycephalic Airway Surgery (Palate Surgery) 
• Laceration Repair
• Mass/Tumor Removal
• Ophthalmic
  • Entropion
  • Enucleation
• Urogenital
  • C-Section
  • Cystotomy
  • Perineal Urethrostomy (PU)
  • Pyometra
• Gastrointestinal
  • Enterotomy
  • Foreign Body
  • Hernia
  • Splenectomy

As always, your pet's safety remains our top priority which is why we utilize advanced anesthetic and surgical techniques.

Pets undergoing surgery have the option to receive:

• Pre-anesthetic blood work
• Anesthesia
• Experienced monitoring support
• IV catheter placement
• Pain medication

Following surgery, your pet will be kept comfortable and monitored while the effects of anesthesia wear off. Wanting to rest for the remainder of the day is normal, but if you’re concerned about your pet’s post-op behavior, please don’t hesitate to call us at (415) 877-1555.
