Mass Removals


This week at internship there were a couple of mass removal surgeries which are interesting to observe. The mass can be cancerous which obviously means the mass is a tumor and must be removed. Other masses could be non-cancerous and removed for cosmetic reason by the wants of the owner. When masses are cancerous or unknown they are put into a biopsy jar to be taken for further examining. There was a dog with eight masses and all were removed. The instruments shown above are used during mass removal surgeries.
