Designed to be a practical and thorough reflection of the surgical approaches used by distinguished leaders in the various surgical fields, this title presents surgical procedures in a form that can be easily understood and performed.

Current Techniques in Small Animal Surgery, Fifth Edition provides current information regarding surgical techniques from the perspective of clinicians who are performing specific procedures on a regular basis. It is intended to be concise, well illustrated, and reflective of the writer's experience, both good and bad. The emphasis with this volume is technique. The pathophysiologic priniciples and applications are covered in the companion volume, Mechanisms of Disease in Small Animal Surgery, Third Edition. These two books are regarded by most practitioners and students as being a two-volume set.

"This book has over the past months rapidly become my go to reference when I need to quickly read up on general procedure or the basic options available for a condition? As the authors intended this book is perfect for a student or general practitioner who wants to be able to review and perform common surgical procedures that may be routinely in general practice" - Chris Allen, Veterinary Supplies Magazine "The long-awaited fifth edition of 'the' reference insurgery is out! This collective work (I counted more than 70 contributors!) provides the veterinary practitioner with the latest surgical knowledge. The various authors go beyond scalpel techniques: analgesia, bandaging, microsurgery, laser surgery, or diagnostic tests, to name only a few, are detailed and clearly explained in the 1163 pages. They are also backed up by numerous references. Nice drawings and a few black and white photographs illustrate the key points. No doubt yourfourth edition surgery bible is well worn, so get the new one. You'll use it for many years."-Vets Now: Book Review, October 2015
