Description
The most widely used surgical text available, Small Animal Surgery 2nd edition concisely explains and demonstrates the most common surgical procedures in veterinary practice. It offers an overview of general principles of surgery, including asepsis, the surgical environment, preparation of the patient and surgical team, instrumentation, suturing, postoperative and pain management. Five new chapters on endoscopy comprehensively address the basic principles and techniques for this increasingly popular procedure and new chapters have been added to address surgery of the brain and the peripheral nerves as well as new ophthalmologic techniques. In addition, separate sections are devoted to surgical principles and procedures for soft tissue, orthopaedics and neurology. With an authoritative author team, logical organization, unique elements and full-colour presentation, this new edition is an unparalleled resource for both students and practitioners.
