Why would my pet need soft tissue surgery?

Veterinary soft tissue surgery is recommended for a variety of reasons. The most routine procedures are spays and neuters, though we also commonly perform hernia repairs, cystotomies, and mass removals. Some of the soft tissue surgeries we perform can be very urgent cases. Examples of these emergencies may include abdominal exploratory, splenectomy, and perineal urethrostomy surgeries.
