At Bicester Vets, we’re proud to offer a wide range of surgical procedures, from routine operations to complex orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery.
All our veterinary surgeons undertake surgery as part of their clinical work, while a smaller number of vets have developed additional skills and experience in more advanced procedures. Together with our modern surgical facilities, advanced anaesthetic equipment and excellent nursing care, this allows us to perform many operations that might otherwise require a visit to a referral hospital.
Our surgical team includes Kyra Jennings and Lauren Furey who hold postgraduate certificates in small animal surgery.
We offer a comprehensive range of orthopaedic procedures to treat injuries and conditions affecting bones and joints.
Cruciate ligament disease, one of the most common causes of hindlimb lameness in dogs, is a particular focus. Several of our vets perform cruciate surgery, including the Modified Maquet Procedure (MMP). We also work with a visiting surgeon who performs Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO), allowing us to offer different surgical options according to each patient’s needs.
Other orthopaedic procedures include:
Our surgical team has experience in a broad range of soft tissue procedures, including complex abdominal surgery and operations involving the ears, salivary glands and other organs.
These include:
We also undertake selected thoracic procedures involving the chest cavity, including thoracotomy, where appropriate.
We’ve invested in laparoscopic equipment, allowing us to perform certain procedures through small incisions using a camera and fine surgical instruments.
Our keyhole procedures include:
Where appropriate, keyhole surgery can offer benefits including smaller wounds, reduced postoperative discomfort and faster recovery.
Every surgical patient benefits from our advanced anaesthetic monitoring, carefully planned pain relief and dedicated veterinary nursing care.
We also welcome enquiries from veterinary colleagues about more advanced procedures we may be able to undertake for their patients.
Whether your pet needs a routine operation or a more complex procedure, our priority is to provide skilled, compassionate care and the best possible outcome.
