Soft Tissue Surgery
In addition to performing all routine surgeries such as spays and neuters, lump removals, abscess drainage, etc., our veterinary surgeons have extensive experience in advanced surgical procedures and because of our success in challenging surgeries, The Veterinary Hospital receives referral work from all over the UAE.
Some of the surgeries we do are listed below:
Corrective Surgery
Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS) (Stenotic Nares/ Elongated Soft Palate/ Everted Saccules)
This involves surgery on common anatomical abnormalities of the airway of snub- nosed breeds of dogs and cats. This type of surgery allows the patient to breath and exercise more easily in the high temperatures and humidity of the Middle East, extending their quality of life and longevity.
Reconstructive Surgery
This is generally required after severe road traffic accidents, burns and falls from high balconies. We use grafts to repair areas of significant skin loss, repair damaged eye corneas with conjunctival grafts, muscle and bone grafts in orthopaedic surgery and in thoracic and abdominal surgery.

This includes removal of foreign body blockages, stomach dilatation and volvulus (twisted stomach), gastropexy, repair of anatomical abnormalities, gallbladder surgery, splenectomy, liver lobectomy, megacolon surgery, tumour removal surgery.
