Minimally Invasive Surgery
Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) focuses on smaller incisions in an effort to minimise patient discomfort while promoting faster recovery times.
Neurosurgery
The most common cause of spinal cord injuries (SCI) in dogs is intervertebral disc disease, while in cats it’s trauma. Symptoms are highly variable, ranging from neck or back pain, to unsteadiness when walking, to inability to walk.
Orthopedics
Orthopaedic surgery is performed on bone, joints and supporting structures (tendons and ligaments).
MARS surgeons are well recognised industry leaders in the field of orthopaedics.
Oncology
Oncologic surgery refers to the field of cancer surgery. Like humans, our pets can also develop tumours.
With appropriate investigation and treatment, many tumours can be treated successfully.
Soft Tissue Surgery
Surgery relating to structures other than bone or nervous system are typically grouped as soft tissue surgeries.
These procedures are diverse and sometimes require the experience of a specialist and specialised equipment.
