OUR WORK
Small animal Surgical Cases
At Precise VetPro, every orthopaedic procedure is meticulously planned using the advanced Vpop Orthopaedic Software. This diligent planning process allows us to minimize potential risks and ensure optimal surgical performance and patient outcomes.
Treating Hip Fracture and Sacroiliac Luxation in a Cat:
Following a road traffic accident, our patient Nala, Domestic Short Hair, 6 years old, sustained a severe iliac body fracture accompanied by ischium and pubic fractures on her right side, as well as a sacroiliac (SI) luxation on her left. This set of injuries significantly compromised the integrity of her pelvic canal. To stabilise the SI luxation, we utilized a 3.5mm cortical screw and washer, while a 2.4mm locking plate was employed to fortify the fractured iliac region.
Addressing Humeral Intracondylar Fissure in a Dog:
Teddy, an energetic 18-month-old Spaniel, had been experiencing persistent lameness in his right forelimb for several weeks. Upon careful examination, we detected the source of discomfort to be his elbow. Utilizing x-rays and then CT scan, we identified a Humeral Intracondylar Fissure (HIF) which was complicated by a fissure of the lateral epicondyle advancing proximally. To stabilize the HIF, a 3.5mm cortical screw was judiciously placed. Additionally, a LEAP plate from Fusion Implants was employed to fortify the fissure, thereby mitigating the risk of further progression and potential fracture of the lateral epicondyle and allowing its healing.
Implementing TPLO Surgery in a Dog:
Buddy, a highly active, 3-year-old male crossbreed dog, was referred to us after enduring months of sporadic lameness in his left stifle. Our comprehensive examination revealed moderate instability from both drawer and tibial cranial thrust tests, coupled with stifle joint effusion — strong indicators of Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) damage. To restore stability to the joint, we performed a Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO).
Opting for CBLO Surgery in a Young Dog:
TPLO isn’t always the best fit for every patient. Take Bella, for example, a lively 6-month-old Labrador, who began experiencing an escalating lameness in her left stifle over a period of several weeks. Combining radiological findings with both awake and sedated physical examinations, we diagnosed CCL damage. With Bella’s growth plates still open, the preferred technique was CBLO (Cora Based Levelling Osteotomy). This method shifts the direction of the osteotomy, preserving the intact growth plate, thus allowing for normal bone development among the several other benefits it offers.
Pancarpal Arthrodesis in a Dog:
During a walk, Ruby, a spirited three-year-old crossbreed, gave chase to a rabbit and took a substantial leap from a great height. This incident resulted in her presenting a non-weight bearing lameness, graded at 5/5.
Stress radiographs performed under sedation revealed a hyperextension of the carpal joint, owing to a rupture of the palmar ligaments. Given the severity of the injury, the only viable treatment option was Pancarpal Arthrodesis. This procedure fuses the joint, thereby alleviating pain and ensuring the restoration of the limb’s functionality.
Elbow Arthrodesis in a Dog
Meet Jack, a vibrant 7-year-old retired racing greyhound, boasting an athletic build at 44kg. Unfortunately, Jack experienced a traumatic accident during a sprint through the woods, resulting in extensive damage to his elbow. His vigorous run led to an elbow luxation and a comminuted fracture of the lateral aspect of his left humeral condyle, remaning in its original place, and also further fragmentation of the luxated condyle. The selected treatment as a rescue procedure, to avoid amputation, was elbow arthrodesis of the affected joint.
Lung Lobectomy by Intercostal Thoracotomy
Darcy, a lively 11-year-old Labrador, had been coughing for three months, showing no signs of improvement despite symptomatic treatment. Diagnostic efforts led to a CT scan, which uncovered a mass located in Darcy’s left caudal lung lobe, with no indication of metastasis. A left intercostal thoracotomy was performed to remove it. During the procedure, the mass, along with its corresponding bronchus and vessels, were meticulously identified and securely ligated using a TA stapler before being successfully removed. Darcy made an impressive, speedy recovery. Today, she is back to enjoying her everyday activities, free from discomfort!
A few words from our clients
Since partnering with Precise VetPro, our revenue has increased by 33%. Their professionalism and easy referral process have made our workflow more efficient and enhanced reputation and client satisfaction. We highly recommend Precise VetPro to any vet practice looking to grow and improve their bottom line.
We began working with Precise VetPro in early 2024. We are very happy with the quality of the surgical work and the good recoveries with minimal complications. Ibra had a great integration into our team. Performing these procedures in-house has significantly improved our service and increased our revenue. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Precise VetPro.
We have started working with Precise VetPro very recently, after having contacted Ibra regarding a TPLO surgery that our client wanted performed in-house. All the team has been very pleased with his professionalism, organisation and clinical outcome. Since then the collaboration has been continuous in order to provide the best service to our clients – we had 3 orthopaedic procedures and one TECA performed in house in less than a week! We recommend this service because we have seen an increase in clients' satisfaction with their pets receiving referral treatment at their normal vets, gratification for the team involved in more interesting cases and, least but not last, a spike in our monthly revenue.
