Other Equine Surgeries

At Cave Creek Equine® Sports Medicine & Surgery, we understand that not every surgical case falls neatly into a specific category. Our board-certified surgeons are equipped to evaluate and treat a wide variety of conditions requiring surgical intervention. From performance-limiting soft tissue injuries to unusual masses or anatomical abnormalities, we provide expert care tailored to your horse’s unique needs.

Specialized Surgical Solutions

In addition to orthopedic, abdominal, respiratory, dental, and urogenital surgeries, we routinely perform other procedures such as:

  • Mass or lump removal (skin, subcutaneous, or internal)
  • Laceration repair (including complex wounds in sensitive areas)
  • Joint flush or lavage for infection or inflammation
  • Tendon sheath or bursal surgeries
  • Biopsy collection for diagnostic purposes
  • Scar revision or cosmetic corrections
  • Implant removal from previous surgeries
  • Eye enucleation (in cases of trauma or chronic pain)

If your horse has an uncommon surgical issue or one that doesn’t fall into a major category, our team is ready to help.

Thorough Diagnostics and Personalized Planning

Every surgical case begins with a detailed evaluation, which may include:

  • Digital radiographs (X-rays)
  • Diagnostic ultrasound or MRI
  • Endoscopy
  • Laboratory testing or biopsy analysis

We work closely with you and your referring veterinarian to determine the best course of action—balancing risks, recovery, and long-term prognosis.

Committed to Equine Health and Performance

Whether your horse is a high-level athlete or a beloved companion, our goal is to restore comfort, function, and quality of life through skilled surgical care. We are experienced in managing complex and challenging cases, providing:

  • Advanced surgical techniques
  • Safe anesthesia and monitoring
  • Comprehensive post-operative care
  • Clear communication throughout the process

If your horse has a growth, wound, injury, or unusual condition that may require surgery, or if your veterinarian has recommended surgical evaluation, contact us to schedule a consultation.
