The Manual of Small Animal Soft Tissue Surgery, 3rd Edition, provides step-by-step instructions for soft tissue surgical procedures commonly performed in small animal practice. Authored by Karen Tobias, Professor of Small Animal Surgery, and Cassie Lux, Associate Professor of Small Animal Surgery at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, this 656-page clinical manual supports veterinary students, new graduates, general practitioners, and experienced practitioners.
Broad coverage spans skin surgery, abdominal procedures, digestive system operations, reproductive tract surgeries, urinary interventions, and ophthalmic procedures. Detailed operations include splenectomy, diaphragmatic hernia repair, gastrotomy, esophagostomy tube placement, intestinal resection and anastomosis, nephrectomy, feline perineal urethrostomy, prepubertal gonadectomy, cesarean section, enucleation, and entropion correction.
Each chapter supplies introductory notes alongside procedural guidance for preoperative management, surgery, and postoperative considerations. High-quality color photographs and detailed line drawings illustrate surgical techniques across every topic, serving as a functional visual reference for clinicians preparing for surgical cases.
