BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical Principles

Meticulous attention to the basic principles of surgery is critical in order to achieve a good surgical outcome. Good surgeons are not those who are simply skilled at surgery, but those who ensure that every aspect of patient care is performed to the highest standard. Complications that arise following surgery are often attributable to a lack of understanding or appreciation of the importance of these basic principles. The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Surgical Principles provides a solid grounding in best practice for the basic tenets of veterinary surgery. It will be particularly helpful for veterinary students, new graduates and veterinary nurses, as well as any veterinary surgeon wishing to update their knowledge. *Surgical facilities and equipment *Perioperative considerations for the surgical patient *Surgical biology and techniques
