Laryngeal tie-back surgery is a specialized procedure used to treat laryngeal paralysis—a condition that causes airway obstruction and noisy breathing. At Animal Surgical Care of PA, our surgeons perform tie-back procedures with precision to restore normal airflow and comfort.
Prior to surgery, we perform laryngoscopic examination under light anesthesia to confirm diagnosis and plan surgical strategy. Blood work and thoracic imaging are also performed to evaluate general health.
During the procedure, one side of the larynx is permanently tied open using surgical sutures, allowing unrestricted airflow while minimizing aspiration risk.
Anesthesia is handled with special protocols designed for airway safety, and postoperative monitoring ensures smooth recovery and stable breathing.
After surgery, pets typically show dramatic improvement in energy and breathing comfort. We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including feeding modifications to prevent aspiration.
Animal Surgical Care of PA offers advanced laryngeal tie-back surgery for pets across Pennsylvania—helping them breathe easier and live more comfortably.
