Soft tissue surgery encompasses interventions on internal organs, skin, digestive, reproductive, urinary, respiratory and non-bony structures. It includes surgeries such as removal of tumoursgastrointestinal surgery, spleen, bladder, bladder, perineum, complex wounds, reconstructive surgery, among others.
It is recommended when there are tumours, foreign bodies, torsions, obstructions, organ ruptures, serious infections, abscesses, deep wounds or pathologies that do not respond to medical treatment. The veterinarian assesses whether surgery is the best option according to the patient's stability and diagnosis.
Depending on the case, they are carried out:
Blood and urine tests
Abdominal ultrasound
X-rays
CT when the area is complex or advanced planning is required
Pre-anaesthetic tests
These tests help to ensure that the surgery is as safe as possible and to choose the appropriate technique.
The usual risks are bleeding, infection, anaesthetic complications or scarring problems. In Benivet Benissa we use advanced anaesthetic protocols, pain control, continuous monitoring and updated surgical techniques to minimise risk and promote recovery.
It includes pain control, rest, use of an Elizabethan collar, wound care, progressive feeding according to the surgery and scheduled check-ups. Some operations require initial hospitalisation and, in digestive or urinary cases, special diets during recovery.
It depends on the type of surgery. Many minor operations allow for recovery in 7-14 dayswhile major abdominal or reconstructive surgeries may require 3-6 weeks. During the reviews, the activity and care plan is adjusted.
