Comprehensive Surgical Services for Pets

Soft Tissue Surgeries

Soft tissue surgeries address conditions that affect your pet’s internal organs, skin, muscles, or glands rather than bones or joints. These procedures can be urgent, life-saving interventions or planned treatments for chronic medical issues. At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, our experienced team performs a wide range of soft tissue surgeries with a strong focus on safety, precision, and pain control.

Here are some of the soft tissue procedures we routinely perform:

Cesarean Section (C-section) – Emergency or planned surgical birth for dogs or cats experiencing delivery difficulties.

Liver Biopsy / Hepatobiliary Surgery – Used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the liver and gallbladder.

Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) – A life-threatening stomach condition seen primarily in large dogs; immediate surgical correction is important.

Parathyroidectomy – A delicate procedure to remove overactive parathyroid glands, often linked to high calcium levels.

Laceration Repair – For pets who have suffered cuts, bites, or deep wounds that require expert closure.

Perineal Hernia Repair – Corrects a hernia near the rectal area, which can affect elimination and comfort.

Salivary Mucocele – Removal of damaged salivary glands to resolve swelling and discomfort.

Tumor Removal – Whether benign or cancerous, surgical removal of growths is often recommended to preserve health and comfort.

Orthopedic & Specialized Procedures

Orthopedic surgeries focus on bones, joints, and ligaments, while our specialized procedures address complex or chronic conditions affecting a pet’s comfort and function. At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, our experienced veterinarians perform both emergency and referred orthopedic and specialty surgeries for dogs and cats using advanced techniques and compassionate care.

These are some of the advanced procedures we offer:

Fracture Repair – Stabilizing broken bones with pins, plates, or external devices to encourage proper healing.

Limb Amputation – Performed only when absolutely necessary, such as in severe trauma or cancer cases, to relieve pain and improve quality of life.

Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Repair – Similar to an ACL injury in people, this is a common orthopedic issue in active dogs.

Laryngeal Paralysis (Tie Back Surgery) – Restores breathing function in pets with obstructed airways.

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement (TTA-R) – An advanced surgical technique used to treat CCL injuries and improve long-term mobility.

Perineal Urethrostomy (PU) – Especially important in male cats with recurrent urinary blockages.

Femoral Head and Neck Ostectomy (FHO) – Hip joint removal to alleviate pain from arthritis or trauma.

Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA) – Surgery to remove the ear canal for pets with severe, untreatable ear infections.

Patellar Luxation Repair – Stabilization of the kneecap for pets with chronic dislocation, often seen in small breeds.

Laser Surgery for Reduced Pain and Faster Recovery

At Animal Emergency Hospital DeLand, we offer laser-assisted surgery for select procedures to make surgery safer and recovery smoother. This advanced technique uses a focused beam of light to create precise incisions while sealing blood vessels and nerve endings, resulting in:

Less bleeding during surgery, which improves visibility for the surgeon and reduces the need for extended operative time.

Reduced pain and swelling after surgery, as the laser seals nerve endings and soft tissue during the process.

Lower risk of infection, since the laser sterilizes as it cuts, decreasing the chance of post-operative complications.

Faster recovery times, thanks to minimized inflammation and smaller incisions, allowing pets to return to normal activities more quickly.

We often recommend laser surgery for soft tissue procedures, areas with dense blood supply, or pets at higher risk for complications. While not necessary for every case, it can make a big difference in comfort and recovery. Our team will discuss whether it’s the right option for your pet.
