Airway and BOAS Surgery
Our team provides careful assessment and clear communication so owners understand the recommended approach, the procedure and the recovery process.
Rhinoscopy and Nasal Support
Laser Surgery and Oncological Surgery
Laser surgery may be used in selected soft tissue procedures where appropriate. BVRS may also support oncological surgery for pets requiring surgical care related to masses or cancer, depending on the case and referral details.
Our goal is to provide thoughtful surgical planning with communication that supports both the pet owner and the referring veterinary team.
Ovary-Sparing Spey and Advanced Soft Tissue Procedures
BVRS may also provide ovary-sparing spey and other advanced soft tissue procedures for suitable patients. Every recommendation is made with the patient’s individual needs in mind.
Soft tissue surgery may also overlap with minimally invasive surgery when laparoscopic techniques are appropriate.
Wound Management
At BVRS, we can manage large wounds and provide surgical wound reconstruction where appropriate. We have negative pressure wound management (vacuum-assisted closure, or wound VAC) using KCI and PICO systems available for large wounds and skin graft support.
A Connected Referral Process
As an independent referral practice, BVRS offers specialist surgical care with a personal, team-based approach. We aim to keep pet owners informed and referring vets updated throughout the patient’s care.
Our focus is on professional, reliable and compassionate support before, during and after surgery.
