The most widely used surgical text on the market, Small Animal Surgery 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 care and pain management.

In addition, separate sections are devoted to surgical principles and procedures for soft tissue, orthopedics, and neurology. With an authoritative author team, logical organization, unique elements, and full-color presentation, this new edition is an unparalleled resource for both students and practitioners.

Review
"The book itself is again a masterpiece for the veterinary surgeon with well explained text, drawings and tables. The use of different symbols and colours in the text makes things very clear.
I was please to see the more recent orthopaedic procedures such as TPLO, TWO and TTA for the repair of cranial cruciate ligaments being so well described. A lot of attention is also spent on analgesia, with clear tables and dosages being provided.
Regarding the e-dition or online: this is a great improvement! Excellent features include:
- good searching system, very fast
- good quality pictures (they can be stored)
- frequent updates (weekly)
- reference links to PubMed with access to the full-text articles
- videoclips (good quality images)
- aftercare instructions
- interactive fracture planner
- POCKETConsult TM for PDA
- case presentations
- and many other useful features
veterinary surgeons (those just staring as well as more experienced surgeons) who are really interested in what they are doing during surgery, should have this book in their library.
.It is worth every Euro!"

The standard...,

This review is from: Small Animal Surgery, 2e (Hardcover)
Before my first spay, I watched the demonstration video a few times, read over my spay manual a few times....but reading the procedure over in Fossum upped my confidence in remembering each step. I've used this book to clarify certain procedures mentioned in my classes, and it has helped me so much conceptually. The illustrations are great and provide a great model to accompany the instructions. It's a standard for any vet student!

Even better than the first edition,
By Charles (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Animal Surgery, 2e (Hardcover)
A must have for any practitioner. The first edition was great, replacing my 2 volume Slatter's, the second edition is even better! Other authors should learn from this reference, provide the information needed and include terrific pictures and drawings!

3.0 out of 5 stars
Just OK,
This review is from: Small Animal Surgery Textbook, 3e (Hardcover)
I purchased this book since it was required for surgery coursed. At first glance you will think the book is great. The book is very large with lots of colorful illustrations. However once you begin reading procedures and referring to diagrams you learn that this book seems simplified. The illustrations that are supposed to describe procedures often are not adequately labeled. I found myself referring to my anatomy texts extensively. Also the descriptions of the procedures themselves are not always thorough. I am often left with questions that I need to research elsewhere.
