Soft tissue surgery
What is soft tissue surgery?
Surgery relating to structures other than bone or nervous system are typically grouped together as soft tissue surgeries. These procedures are diverse and sometimes require the experience of a specialist and specialised equipment.
MARS works closely with veterinarians to help plan optimal investigation and treatment strategies.
