Surgery in the human field is carried out using minimally invasive techniques wherever possible. The advantages of these techniques are considerable: improved visualization of the surgical field; improved access to the surgical site; reduced scarring, morbidity and postoperative pain; and more rapid healing. People nowadays expect minimally invasive surgery for themselves, and are very receptive to these procedures for their pets. This manual provides a practical guide for general practitioners worldwide who wish to use minimally invasive techniques. It gives detailed information on the instrumentation required for different techniques, and practical tips and advice on its care. The principles and basic techniques of diagnostic endoscopy and endosurgery are explained, illustrated by a wealth of colour photographs and specially commissioned diagrams.
New to this edition are a series of videos that accompany the chapters. These videos are available from the BSAVA Library.
