Small Animal Surgery

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.
