Summary:

The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Abdominal Surgery is a brand new addition to the range of BSAVA Manuals and provides a practical up-to-date surgical reference that is easy to read and follow.

The Manual begins with introductory chapters on Principles of abdominal surgery and Equipment and surgical instrumentation before going on to consider in-depth the most common soft tissue surgical conditions of the abdomen encountered in small animal practice. Chapters on various organs systems within the abdominal cavity follow, including The body wall, The spleen and The male urogenital system, and in addition there are also chapters dedicated to specific conditions, such as Gastric dilatation and volvulus and Peritonitis. Emphasis is placed on the fact that 'surgery' does not begin and end in the operating theatre; appropriate pre- and postoperative management is reviewed and the decision-making process leading to surgery is also discussed.

The main focus of the BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Abdominal Surgery is the surgical procedures - step-by-step Operative Techniques detail the common procedures in an easy-to-follow practical way, with notes on patient positioning and preparation, instrumentation and postoperative care. Specially commissioned drawings and full-colour photographs illustrate both the Operative Techniques and the accompanying text.

The BSAVA Manual of Canine and Feline Abdominal Surgery, written by an internationally renowned panel of authors, provides a ready source of practical information for veterinary surgeons, and will also be useful to veterinary students, nurses and technicians as well as those working towards a specialist qualification in soft tissue surgery.
