Book Description

The most widely used surgical text on the market!


Product Description

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. 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, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The standard..., February 16, 2003
By Michelle L. Lee (West Orange, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

By tomgarg@ibm.net (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Small Animal Surgery (Hardcover)
Great Book!! Very useful to the practicing small animal vet for daily reference. The pictures and explainations of procedures are the easiest to understand that I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than the first edition, July 27, 2002
By Charles (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
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!
