What Is Soft Tissue Surgery?

Soft tissue surgery involves any procedure not related to bones or joints. It covers a wide range of procedures involving internal organs, skin, tumors, and trauma repair. At VSCLI, our board-certified surgeons are skilled in a broad spectrum of soft tissue procedures, including both routine surgeries and complex, life-saving interventions.

We often perform surgeries to treat:

Gastrointestinal diseases and foreign body removal
Thoracic and cardiac issues
Abdominal mass removal and organ surgeries (liver, spleen, pancreas)
Urogenital conditions (bladder stones, cystotomies, urethrostomies)
Oncologic tumor removal and reconstructive surgery
Airway disorders, including brachycephalic syndrome
Endocrine gland issues (adrenal, thyroid, salivary)
Emergency trauma care and wound reconstruction

No matter the issue, our team takes a thorough, thoughtful approach to ensure the best possible outcome for your pet.

Advanced Diagnostic and Surgical Capabilities

Our Huntington-based surgical center is fully equipped with cutting-edge technology for both diagnosis and treatment. Before recommending surgery, we conduct thorough physical examinations, digital imaging, and any needed lab testing to determine the most accurate diagnosis.

In cases requiring exploratory surgery — such as when internal masses or blockages are suspected — we’re able to move swiftly from diagnosis to treatment under one roof. This seamless coordination not only improves outcomes, but also reduces stress on your pet and your family.

Our soft tissue surgeries include:

Exploratory procedures and biopsies
Diaphragmatic hernia repair
Splenectomy, nephrectomy, and liver lobectomy
Cholecystectomy and adrenalectomy
Oncologic mass removal with reconstructive follow-up
Thoracic surgery (lung tumors, cardiac procedures)
Emergency trauma surgery
Salivary mucocele drainage and gland removal
Perineal urethrostomy and anal gland excision
Airway surgeries such as arytenoid lateralization and brachycephalic correction
Portosystemic shunt ligation and correction

Our team will walk you through every step — from diagnosis and pre-operative preparation to post-surgical recovery and follow-up care.

FAQ: Veterinary Soft Tissue Surgery in Huntington, NY

Is surgery safe for senior pets?

Yes. We evaluate each patient’s age, medical history, and current health to determine the safest anesthesia and surgical plan. Many older pets benefit significantly from surgery when managed carefully.

Will my pet be in pain after soft tissue surgery?

We take pain management seriously and tailor post-operative care with medications and comfort measures to keep your pet as pain-free as possible.

Do you offer emergency soft tissue surgery?

Yes. Our surgical center offers emergency services, including trauma repair and urgent procedures such as foreign body removal and wound reconstruction.

How long will my pet need to stay in the hospital after surgery?

That depends on the type of procedure and your pet’s condition. Many soft tissue surgeries require one or more nights of post-operative observation to ensure proper recovery. Most of our patients go home the same day as their surgery. VSCLI wants what is best for our patients. We support our patients return home to their loving family whenever possible.

What’s the difference between soft tissue surgery and orthopedic surgery?

Soft tissue surgery involves the internal organs, skin, and body systems (such as the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems), while orthopedic surgery focuses on bones, joints, and ligaments.
