Soft Tissue Surgery
Orthopaedic care is vital for pets suffering from bone, joint, or spine conditions that can cause pain, limit activity, and ultimately diminish their overall well-being. At Beecroft Animal Specialist & Emergency Hospital Singapore, our dedicated orthopaedic surgery team, led by Dr Patrick Maguire, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons, is committed to restoring your patient’s mobility and enhancing their quality of life.
Dr. Maguire has over 10 years of surgical experience and is supported by a skilled team of critical care veterinarians, and licensed veterinary technicians. We utilise state-of-the-art techniques, such as bone plating, pinning, and fixation devices, to address a wide range of orthopaedic conditions. Our comprehensive approach includes close collaboration with our diagnostic imaging service and cutting-edge rehabilitation team, ensuring your patients receive seamless care throughout their journey to recovery.

Dr Tom has extensive experience in the management of routine and complex soft-tissue and orthopaedic cases.

Soft tissue surgery is a vital field in veterinary medicine that focuses on addressing diseases and injuries affecting the internal organs and structures of animals. Unlike orthopaedic surgery, which deals with bones and joints, soft tissue surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures involving the chest, abdomen, skin, and other soft tissues. These procedures include anything from tumour removal and hernia repair to gastrointestinal surgery and reconstructive procedures.
At Beecroft, our dedicated team is committed to providing the highest standard of soft tissue surgery. Led by Dr Patrick Maguire, a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons with over 10 years of experience, our skilled surgeons utilise advanced techniques and compassionate care to ensure the best possible outcome for your companion.

As with any surgical procedure for animals, soft tissue surgery carries inherent risks, including those associated with anaesthesia, infection, and bleeding. However, these risks are generally low, and our experienced team takes every precaution to minimise them. We will also discuss the specific risks associated with your pet’s procedure during the consultation to ensure you and your pet are comfortable with the process.
Our veterinary team will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare your pet for soft tissue surgery, which typically includes fasting for a certain period before the procedure. This helps to reduce the risk of complications during anaesthesia. We will also advise you on any necessary medication adjustments.
The specific diagnostic tests required before veterinary soft tissue surgery will vary depending on your pet’s condition and the planned procedure. Common tests may include bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging such as X-rays or ultrasound. These tests help us assess your pet’s overall health and ensure they are a suitable candidate for surgery.
Yes, it is crucial to restrict your pet’s activity during the recovery period following their soft tissue surgery. This helps to prevent complications and promote healing. We will provide specific instructions depending on your type of animal. This may include activity restrictions, using a cone to prevent licking the incision site, and separating your pet from other animals.
Most comprehensive pet insurance policies cover veterinary soft tissue surgery. However, it is essential to check your specific policy details to confirm coverage and any exclusions. Our team can provide you with an estimated cost for the procedure to help you with your insurance claim.
