Ventral Bulla Osteotomy for treatment of middle ear disease Oncologic Surgery Our Oncology and Surgery services work closely to provide diagnosis through surgical biopsies, surgical debulking of tumors or surgical tumor excision prior to definitive chemotherapy. The VITOM™ ventral slot decompression technique was fast and easy to perform. It allowed a minimally invasive approach with a small ventral slot while improving spinal cord visualization. The results of this study support the use of the VITOM™ technique in spinal veterinary surgery.

Fixed Pricing – we don’t believe in nasty surprises so the price we quote is the price you pay

We believe that specialist care should be accessible and affordable. Our fixed pricing structure complements our ethos – that everything we do should be communicated openly to referring vets and to pet owners, and is backed up by a unique Surgical Complications Guarantee that covers any complications arising from surgery within 6 months of the procedure.
