Reducing the number of tumour cells in the body increases the effectiveness of post-operative radiotherapy or chemotherapy, as these two types of treatment are less effective when dealing with a large mass.<\/p><p>This therapy will probably not produce a cure, but will often provide long-term local control, i.e. will prevent the mass from regrowing for as long as possible and will delay the signs of ill-health due to the tumour.\u00a0 Cytoreductive surgery generally involves a more minor procedure than surgery for cure and the recovery time after surgery is therefore generally shorter.<\/p><p><strong>Palliative Surgery:<\/strong> Palliative surgery is designed to remove a tumour that is causing signs of illness, while accepting, that this will not cure the patient. This surgery may be performed for tumours that are causing pain and discomfort or that are infected or ulcerated. Often, this is a more effective form of pain relief than painkilling drugs alone. Usually, the simplest type of palliative surgery that will provide an improvement in the animal\u2019s health is chosen, to maximise the benefit of this surgery, avoid a long recovery time and minimise post-operative complications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ec6b58b elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ec6b58b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d9e1503\" data-id=\"d9e1503\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce9623f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ce9623f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"210\" height=\"210\" src=\"http:\/\/79.170.43.200\/chameleontesting.co.uk\/willowsoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Asset-5.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-863\" alt=\"willows-dog-cat-icon\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"http:\/\/79.170.43.200\/chameleontesting.co.uk\/willowsoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Asset-5.png 210w, http:\/\/79.170.43.200\/chameleontesting.co.uk\/willowsoldsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Asset-5-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-48e85ab willows-standard-list-wrap\" data-id=\"48e85ab\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2505fb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2505fb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\tConsiderations Prior to Surgery\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79530a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"79530a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>For more radical surgery and, in particular, surgery that alters the appearance of the pet, e.g. surgery of the head and neck or amputation of a limb, pet owners understandably often have two concerns:<\/p><ul><li>How will surgery alter the cosmetic appearance of my pet?<\/li><li>How will surgery affect the ability of my pet to lead a normal, happy life i.e. to function normally?<\/li><\/ul><p>We would probably all regard normal function of a pet to be more important than a normal appearance.
