Complex Soft Tissue
As an RCVS-accredited hospital, we are able to perform a number of more complex soft tissue surgical procedures.
These include TECA (total ear canal ablation), skin reconstruction, anal sac removal, liver surgery and adrenalectomy, portosystemic shunt (PSS) surgery, splenectomy, bladder surgery and gastrointestinal procedures such as gastrotomy, enterotomy and enterectomy.
Each case is assessed individually and we take care to ensure patients receive thorough pre-operative assessment and close monitoring during recovery.
