There are many different types of veterinary surgeries. In contrast with orthopedic procedures (which concern the bones, joints, and ligaments), soft tissue surgeries involve the abdomen, reproductive tract, skin, and anything else not associated with the musculoskeletal system. Soft tissue surgeries can benefit pets for a variety of reasons, and if a pet ever needs our surgical expertise, we\u2019re always here to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Foreign Body Removal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, foreign body removal is a common occurrence\u2014especially in dogs. Due to their chewing instinct, dogs can wind up swallowing potentially dangerous items like socks, corn cobs, toys, bones, or hair ties. If your dog eats something he or she cannot digest, they might need soft tissue surgery to remove it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Soft Tissue Surgeries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to spay\/neuter surgeries, mass removal, and foreign body removal, common soft tissue surgeries focus on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
