SURGICAL SERVICES

 

 

Veterinary Surgery

 

Our Veterinarians are trained in state-of-the-art surgical techniques should your pet require a surgical procedure.  We offer a full range of soft tissue surgeries from routine spays and neuters to more advanced procedures. 

 

We perform surgeries using a laser to increase comfort for your pet's post operative recuperation.  Our EKG and Pulse Oximetry equipment can monitor your Pet's heart rate and vital signs to better determine how well your Pet is responding to treatment and during surgical procedures.  We also maintain an extensive referral service for those procedures requiring specialized training and equipment.

Veterinary Orthopedics

 

We offer specialized orthopedic procedures such as Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomies (TPLO) to correct ruptured ligaments in the knee.  TPLO surgery has been shown to be very successful in restoring full function and preventing further joint degeneration and can be performed on any size dog.

 

The tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO), involves making a curved cut in the top of the tibia bone (osteotomy) to include the tibial plateau.  The tibial plateau is then rotated along the curved osteotomy in order to level the slope.  A plate and screws are used to hold the tibial plateau in place so that the bone can heal well.

 

 

 

Veterinary Laparoscopy & Thoracoscopy

 

Granite City Pet Hospital is now offering laparoscopy and thoracoscopy.  Minimally invasive surgeries reduce the surgical insult and would seem to be preferred over traditional open approaches for any operation that can be performed by laparoscopy.  Research studies have documented decrease stress ourselves as we believe it to be less invasive.  The surgeon can also see the tissue field better and can easily record these images.  Minimally invasive surgical treatments have dramatically advanced patient care for people, and companion animals practice is following this trend.

 

 

Veterinary Endoscopy

 

Endoscopy is a medical procedure that enables us to look at the gastrointestinal tract using a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera at the tip.   Within the tube is a channel that allows the passage of a variety of diagnostic instruments for examination and biopsy. Veterinary Endoscopy allows definitive evaluation of the lining of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon.  Small samples of these areas can be taken and then analyzed in order to determine the exact nature of your pet's problem.
