Services
Orthopedic Surgery
Our orthopedic specialists perform TPLO, fracture repairs, and joint surgeries using advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques. We treat conditions like cruciate ligament tears, patellar luxation, and angular limb deformities. Post-operative care includes pain management and rehabilitation planning to restore mobility and function.
Neurologic Surgery
We address spinal disorders through laminectomy, nerve biopsies, and atlantoaxial stabilization procedures. Our surgeons manage conditions like intervertebral disc disease and spinal fractures using MRI-guided diagnostics. Recovery focuses on neurological function preservation and pain control through multimodal therapies.
Oncology Surgery
Our team excises soft tissue sarcomas, skin tumors, and organ-specific cancers with precision. Limb-sparing techniques and reconstructive procedures minimize invasiveness while maximizing outcomes. Pre- and post-operative chemotherapy guidance ensures comprehensive cancer management tailored to each patient.
Abdominal Surgery
We perform liver lobectomies, portosystemic shunt corrections, and gastrointestinal surgeries using laparoscopic and open techniques. Procedures include gallbladder removal, intestinal resections, and urinary tract reconstructions. Minimally invasive approaches reduce recovery times and complication risks.
Respiratory Surgery
Specialized interventions address brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome through soft palate resection and laryngeal tie-back procedures. Nasal surgeries and lung lobectomies treat chronic respiratory conditions. Post-operative care emphasizes oxygen therapy and activity modification for optimal breathing recovery.
