Describing animal models used in gastrointestinal, vascular, endocrine, urologic, central nervous system and transplantation surgery research, this text highlights their relevance to the study of human disease. Tumour models are also described, including those of the gastrointestinal tract and breast. The fundamental differences between various animal species and the implications for the choice of animal model are explored in an opening chapter on comparative biology, while a system by system approach ensures coverage of the models used in different surgical fields.
