Book, Bsava Manual of Surgery In Dogs and Cats 1/14[LS]

This work presents in a clear and detailed manner the basic principles of surgery, which are crucial for a successful surgical outcome.. A good surgeon is not just someone who is able to perform surgery, he or she must also ensure that all aspects of patient care are carried out to the highest possible standard, as post-operative complications are often the result of a lack of understanding of these basic principles.. The book's chapters were organized in a didactic way, within three main themes: surgical facilities and equipment, perioperative considerations for the surgical patient, and surgical biology and techniques. Chapters that provide particularly new information for veterinary surgeons include those on the innate immune and inflammatory response to anesthesia and surgery, surgical staplers, surgical lasers, and hospital-acquired infections.. The Manual of Surgery in Dogs and Cats provides a solid foundation for best practice in the basic principles of veterinary surgery and is especially valuable for veterinary students, recent graduates, and veterinary surgeons wishing to update their knowledge.
