Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery
Complex cases need clarity, skill, and a team that cares.
Some procedures can’t wait. Others need a little more than routine care. That’s where our advanced soft tissue surgery services come in, for pets facing tumours, abdominal concerns, or internal issues that require deeper surgical experience.
At Edgeworth Animal Medical Centre, we offer advanced surgical care for Newcastle pets, backed by thoughtful diagnostics, strong outcomes, and kind communication every step of the way. We also partner closely with referring vets across the region to ensure every pet gets the best possible outcome.
What Is Advanced Soft Tissue Surgery?
Soft tissue surgery includes everything not involving bones or joints. Our advanced procedures cover:
- Abdominal, urogenital and gastrointestinal surgery
- Lump and tumour removals
- Splenectomy, liver, and bladder surgery
- Emergency internal procedures
- Wound reconstruction and skin flap surgery
These aren’t everyday surgeries; they require careful planning, advanced tools, and a team that has been through this path before.
For Pet Owners: Reassurance in the Face of the Unknown
What to expect when your pet needs more than general care
Hearing your pet needs surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves internal organs or something serious like cancer. We’re here to guide you through what’s next, with plain-language explanations, honest timelines, and a clear path forward.
We’ll explain what the surgery involves, how we prepare, and how recovery will look for your pet. You’ll always know who’s handling your pet’s care, and why we’ve chosen the path we have.
For Referring Vets: Advanced Support You Can Trust

Thoughtful recovery plans and aftercare for lasting results

Whether the patient stays local or returns to your clinic, we’re committed to a smooth recovery that prioritises comfort, communication, and healing.
Real Cases. Real Outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of soft tissue surgery do you offer in Newcastle?
We perform advanced procedures, including abdominal surgery, lump removals, bladder surgery, and more, at our Edgeworth clinic by experienced vets.
Does my pet need advanced surgery, or can a general vet do it?
Some surgeries are best done in a hospital with the right equipment and experience. We’ll assess your pet’s case and recommend the best approach.
How do I know if a tumour or lump needs removing?
If a lump is growing, changing, or causing discomfort, it’s time to investigate. We use imaging and sampling to guide treatment options.
Can I book directly with Edgeworth, or do I need a referral?
You can do either, we welcome direct bookings from pet owners and referrals from other Newcastle vets.
How long does recovery take after soft tissue surgery?
It varies depending on the procedure, but most pets need 10–14 days of restricted activity. We’ll guide you through aftercare every step of the way.
