Mass and Tumor Removal Surgery: What to Expect
Thorough Diagnostic Process
Every mass is different, and not all require immediate removal. Our first step is always a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation:
- Physical Examination – Dr. Mack palpates the mass and assesses size, location, and mobility.
- Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) – A quick, minimally invasive way to sample the cells of the mass for early identification.
- Digital Imaging – X-rays and ultrasound help evaluate internal masses or determine if the growth is affecting nearby organs.
Once results are in, we work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your pet.
Surgical Removal Procedures
If surgery is needed, our team is trained in a wide range of removal techniques, including:
- Benign Mass Removal – Fast, straightforward procedures for fatty tumors (lipomas), cysts, and skin tags.
- Complex Tumor Excision – Involves careful planning, clean margins, and sometimes deeper tissue removal.
- Emergency Removal – For fast-growing or infected masses requiring urgent care.
Our surgical suite is equipped with advanced anesthesia monitoring and temperature control to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
Post-Surgical Recovery & In-House Pathology
After removal, the mass is analyzed using our in-house lab to determine whether it’s benign or malignant. This allows us to deliver faster answers and adjust treatment plans without delay. Recovery time varies, but most pets bounce back quickly with:
- Pain medication and anti-inflammatory support
- Protective bandaging or cones
- Clear post-op care instructions and follow-up visits
We keep you fully informed and provide same-day communication with pathology results in most cases.
