Tumor growth removal surgery
In dogs and cats tumors are a common occurrence. Common skin tumors include
lipomas, mast cell tumors, melanomas, squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell
carcinomas, fibrosarcomas, and histiocytomas. Skin tumors are removed through
either incisions or through plastic surgery. Common oral tumors include melanomas,
fibrosarcomas, squamous cell carcinomas, which are removed with as much
surrounding tissue as possible, including parts of the mandible and maxilla. Other
types of cancer requiring surgery include osteosarcoma, stomach and intestinal
tumors, splenic masses, and urinary bladder tumors.

Wound repair
Bite wounds from other animals are a common occurrence. Wounds from objects that
the animal may step on or run into are also common. Usually these wounds are simple
lacerations that can be easily cleaned and sutured, sometimes using a local
anesthetic. Bite wounds, however, involve compressive and tensile forces in addition
to shearing forces, and can cause separation of the skin from the underlying tissue
and avulsion of underlying muscles. Deep puncture wounds are especially prone to
infection. Deeper wounds are assessed under anesthesia and explored, cleaned, and
dead tissue is removed.
